Hey Ed
A T roadster is a very small package sometimes. The stock T hood is only 25
inches long. Having done it, I know the trouble you are having stuffing an
ARDUN into that chassis. You might have to move the firewall, as bad as
that sounds. I think a thinner radiator is OK as long as the height and
width fits the shell. Stock relative location I think means run the shell
vertical.
Good luck with the project. I'd like to see you out there running. See you
on the salt.
Dave the Hayseed.
