As you know, the radiator will sit too high and the hood will not fit well at the firewall. Raise the body and get a larger gap under the body and above the splash aprons. Then the front of the rear fenders will be a bit short trying to reach down to the running board. Not much but noticeable until you try to align the hood. A bit better if you eliminate the rubber pad where the spring and mounting bolts are at the sides.
