Hi Bill,

I imagine Fran has a fix for that Attached pic shows our short accesory drive package that accomodates forward and low (correct) engine placement. This setup will run with an almost flat firewall panel, only about an inch protrusion needed to clear the water pump nose and a/c pump clutch. There is all kind of space for air circulation to minimise heat soak.

The A/C Bracket is a CAV Canada part that fits any small block Ford water pump and aligns with all pulley configurations, very trick part.

Your simplest suggestion would be a horizontally oriented water outlet fitting rather than the OEM Ford part pointing strait up, works in a Mustang but this is whole different horse. Could be custom fab part but simple enough to make. We do that kind of work too...

Cheers
