I just fitted my engine and Ford T5 transmission into my car for a trial fit with my A/C compressor installed and it fits fine with one exception--no room for my radiator fan shroud. Now I'm thinking of modifying the front sheetmetal to move the radiator forward a couple inches so I have enough room to get my fan shroud into the engine compartment and still have enough room up front to fit my A/C condensor and electric fans as well as my oil cooler. ...................Move forward an hour...I just came from my garage where I just pulled my radiator and fan shroud off the shelf and installed them into my engine compartment--or at least tried. The radiator fits fine but the fan shroud just won't fit. The crankshaft pulley used with the A/C compressor is just a hair too far forward. Is it possible to move the engine back about a quarter inch? I have enough room at the back of the engine compartment and there is enough room at the shifter location to go back a quarter inch, so the real question has to do with the motor mounts--will they allow for another quarter inch travel toward the back of the engine compartment? Anyone know for sure? Dan Eiland 1974 JH 15069 2.2L with Ford T5 5 speed Attachment: Shroud1.jpg (Downloaded 118 times)
