Engine this time is a 350 but with air so I will have a condenser. The factory v8's had sheet metal that moved the radiator about 4-5" behind the support and closer to the engine. I did not move mine. I figure if I have problems I will add an electric fan to it I have lots of room.

thanks everyone
i will get all of the engine swap work leading up to rad done first!
