    Tom,
    I ran into a similar issue on mine, but tied to laying the top back for both hood fit and looks. I was able to simply take off the flat panel shroud and turn it 180degrees, biasing my fan to the bottom vs the top and I picked up the necessary clearance. Might be worth a test fit?

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

    Dave, I'm not sure what you mean by changed the angle from the firewall to the radiator. I want it to be the same. With the new radiator I can pretty much set it at the height I need and then modify (shorten) the shell to fit.

    Possibly I misunderstood you.

    What I was saying is that if you move the radiator/shell forward a couple of inches you will change the angle from the firewall to that radiator
