Re: '59 4x4 Build
DSRaven, you were right - the radiator is mounted 2" forward of where it shown in the manual. This again presents the issue of how I make it fit the fenders and still get the radiator and fan in. I have to move the rad support back 2" so the body parts will bolt together. Post #39 shows my clearance, so I'll have to come up with a really skinny fan, or change to a pusher? Not sure that would fit in front of the radiator. I searched for other builds installing an LS in a 55 or 56, but didn't find any with a truck engine. I may have to swap to the closer front accessories of an LS1 or LS3. That's a lot of extra work and $$.
