Hmmmmm, hope that works well enough. The last 14" I tried on an SBC with Walker rad AND shroud was marginal, and we don't get mega hot here. Sounds like your engine might be mounted a bit low in the chassis.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

I hear you on the diameter, and it kind of surprised me but the pan to block interface is just about dead even with the top of the frame - the frame mounts are dead level with the top of frame side to side. Now perhaps there's a different engine mount option? These from the PO are of course chrome plated bling bling mounts from Energy Suspension - http://www.summitracing.com/parts/en...make/chevroletRoger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
