How much can i move the engine?

[suntech]

Hi Guys!
I am going with a World Product hemi in my 68, together with a dual row Griffin radiator. I would like to use the serpentine belt kit from Billet Specialities, but i think it will be a very close call, with the room between the shroud/ fan setup, and the motor. Is there any room to allow the engine to move a little back, before it hits the firewall??
Thanks
Rolf

Have you considered going with an electric fan? Or maybe seeing if you can modify the radiator support a bit?

Also, have you taken measurements yet and know for sure it wont fit?

Gonna be a amazing looking car, please take pics.

I am going with dual electric fans, and i am not sure if it will be to tight or not. I have seen a 68 with a 440 in, with that rad and belt kit. He had to loose the shroud, and make a superskinny fan bracket to make room. Fabricate new engine mounts, to put the engine 1-1 1/2 inch furter back is not that big a deal, if there is room there. Could ofcause do the same, but i would like to keep the shroud and pull fans.
