I wasn't sure what I was going to do at first, but it actually turned out to be more simple then I had thought. I just moved the radiator - instead of mounted on the engine-side of the rad. support, I moved it to the grill-side of the rad. support. And if you ever noticed, the bolts go in from the engine side and are threaded into little spacers. These spacers are about 1/2" thick, so when I mounted the radiator to the front side of those spacers, that along with the actual movement, I think I gained about an entire inch forward. I even had to notch the hood because the top tank was hitting the hood near the latching point.
