I HAVE A 283 IN A 65 CHEVY PICKUP AND I WAS THINKING OF MOVING THE ENGINE FORWARD TO GET IT CLOSER TO THE RADIATOR. I MOVED THE RADIATOR IT IS STILL ABOUT THREE INCHES FROM THE RADIATOR. I HAVE A SPACER ON THE FAN ALREADY. I HAVE A THREE SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION ON THE COLLAR. MY QUESTION IS HAS ANYONE EVER DONE THIS BEFORE AND IF SO WILL THE SHIFT RODS HAVE TO BE SHORTEN AND HOW MUCH? THERE ARE HOLES IN THE FRAME ABOUT 2-1/4" CLOSER BUT THERE IS NONE IN THE FRAME FOR THE BELLHOUSING AND TRANSMISSION CROSSMEMBER.
