Does anybody know where to find the dimensions of a 29 radiator? I have a 29 Murray TS near the end of a sill replacement job. Now it seems the radiator is too high as evidenced by the gap at the bottom of the hood/cowl larger than the top. The hood overlaps the radiator in the front. Frame was straightened after lifting body to replace the sill. Cowl on one 1/8" rubber both sides. I tried to raise the hood at the top of the cowl with a spacer under the bracket but this wasn't enough. The crank will not fit into the pulley and it seems the shell is too high. Radiator sits on front crossmember with 1/16" rubber only. I'm stumped and wondering if the radiator is incorrect. Any help would be appreciated

Good question. How can I tell? The engine number matches the frame number under the left side of the cowl if that makes any difference.
