4" taller than stock???  Did you buy Toy motor mounts (the ones that come welded onto the IFS support box) or something?  If so, your motor is WAY too high.  Note that your 85 frame rails are way higher than the IFS frame rails at the motor mount location (which is a major advantage with the SA frame, but problematic maybe in your case).  Lower the mounts and use an 88-95 V6 radiator, V6 fan shroud, bolts right up, and align the motor to it.  Works fine lasts long time.
