The motor is not in the stock location. It is moved forward a little. We copied the mount pattern to a piece of steel and drilled the top two holes first. Did that to each mount. Then lined up motor, centered it and leveled it. Had tranny and drive shaft on there. Then we welded the steel plate (still connected to the mount) to the member. Then we drilled the lower holes through the plate and into the member.
I am not sure if they make shorter or higher motor mounts, it seems as if they do. However if I used lower mounts, my fuel pump will be hitting the frame, I thought about notching it out at that point. It is tight indeed.
The dist is prolly closer than 2" come to think of it. It is "just" enough room to get it in and out.
Radiator, I am doing an aluminum one off of ebay Original size

I have not got that in and fiddled with it, but if just looks like I might run a short water pump.
