Yes, I have a spare block in the chassis and the radiator in it. I had to replace the firewall do to a previous owner hacking up the original. I went with an aftermarket one that gave me more room. I actually have the motor mounts 1" farther back. this allows me the room for this setup. I will have 1 1/4" between the fan and radiator. this set up is ~ 3/4" longer than the original. So with the motor 1" farther back no issues. this could also have a shorter front fan mount as short as you want as long as the fan blades cleared belts and pulleys.
