I've verified that it is a big block fan shroud.

I do not know if the frame perches are side specific, but I do know that my 72' frame perches are a different design than your 70' frame perches. That could be the reason why yours is set up a bit differently than mine. When you say that there is a lot of spline that can be taken up are you referring to the splines on the output shaft of the transmission?
Here are the pics of the different motor mounts/perches, first pic is what I believe you have and second pic is mine.
