here is a picture of mine and the relationship to the frame rail. i know yours is probably going to be mounted in a different place, from the looks of it a little higher and that should elimintate any issues with the frame interference i had.

Ryan, thanks for the information. The engine is currently just mocked up, and not permanently attached.

The plan is for me to run a mechanical fan, but I may look at adding an electric pusher like on someone's Suburban (not naming names here...) If I recall, you clearanced your firewall a little bit to get your engine to sit back further, so you're right that the mounting locations will be slightly different.
