thanks - I'll post a pic up with the fan and radiator in place and current engine position sometime today.

Side note ...... anyone know how thick a transmission crossmember rubber mount needs to really be .....
I bought GM universal MT5000 mount like this

https://www.ebay.com/itm/MT-5000-GM-...-/201522422559

But finding the CPP crossmember is only like 1/4 inch under the mount of the tailshaft. So thinking the best way to adapt is with a real thin square rubber plate sitting over the X-member steel support. But not sure if thats ok ?
