I cut the frame ends and got the front sheet metal between the fenders mounted in order to see where I am going with the core support. After looking long and hard at modifying the stock core support, decided to fab one out of angle iron and a pair of the body mounts I cut off the frame. Will use the factory isolators as well. This will allow me to maximize the radiator square footage over modifying the stock core support. I won't be using the stock style radiator. The factory radiator lower hose connection point hits the front cross member and it is too tall for the final vertical body location.

Turns out, the T.B. setup is asymmetric with the engine moved slightly to the right by a couple of inches. Can be seen with the transmission location in the trans cab floor cutout and through the grill (4th picture below). With all the adjustments made setting up the cab, looks like I ended up having plenty of clearance between the transmission and cab.
