I am hoping someone knows what I am getting myself into. I have a 49 Canadian GMC body that will be going on a Chev frame. The Canadian GMCs used Chev engines, which means the front crossmember is the same as a Chev. I want to install a 302 GMC engine which means I will need an American GMC front crossmember. This will be moving the radiator forward the inch and a half to accept the longer GMC engine. What issues will this swap be creating when I go to install the Canadian GMC front sheet metal with the rad in it's new position? Is there a difference in front sheet metal between the Canadian and American GMCs? I am hoping someone out there has been down this road before and has some advice.
