I'm assuming new radiators would measure the same right?
Sure is, the first photo is it done, the carb is sitting in the box between the seats. The second photo, I drove it around a little like that, you can see the oil pan under the cab. The third picture, in the build up lanes at the local drag strip, check out the cowl vent "MID ENG". It was fun, it hooked up, I'll tell you that!
