The engine looks great sitting in there. I also had some trouble with my HF lift and I didn't have anything in the way at the time. I had the same problem with the casters being too high to get under the a-arms without jacking up the truck some.
I also used the front mounting holes with the CPP tubular mounts and I didn't have to cut the frame for them to fit. Just remember that even though there looks to be a lot of room, the fit gets pretty tight when you move the engine forward. I have about 4" clearance between the water pump pulley and the radiator. I am using a serpentine bracket system and I don't know if that makes a difference, but I am using low profile 12" fans and that works for me.
What are you planning on using for cooling?
