Success! I had to cut away some of the steel to allow me to bolt the radiator to the inside edge (normal location is outside) of the mount. Also, had to get a top hose that is 2.5 inches taller to account for the extra height. Seems to be working just fine now.

Here is a picture of the finished product:

Thanks Hotrod Lincoln - I did not bend the blades at your suggestion smile


Me and my '53!
