Options for moving the radiator forward

I can't go look at my front clip right now, but what options do i have for moving my radiator forward? I already plan to get a new radiator, so aftermarket options are OK. I was planning on going with a drop in 4 core, but if i have to do something else i will.

My issue is that after mocking up my motor mounts for the BBC i'm putting in my '50, i'm finding that from the end of my water pump to the firewall is at 30.5". by the time i get a spacer and a fan on there, we're looking at around 32"-33". From what someone else has told me, stock distance, firewall to radiator is 29".

I'm really trying to avoid cutting the firewall and pushing it back about 4", so i'm curious if anyone else has ideas for making some more room.
