    Could someone that has a Windsor 289/302 and an aluminum radiator like the Champion, please measure the distance from the top alternator bolt head (the pivot bolt) to the radiator.

    Trying to mock up pulleys and fan and I would like to know what I have for room to work with.

    :tiphat: thanks in advance!

    Just as additional info, I ordered a Champion radiator and had to slightly modify the lower part of the core support and the front x member where the petcock would clear. Not complaining, great radiator and your install may differ.
