need a measurement

Could someone with a '50 (or same body style) truck measure from the firewall to the radiator for me? Trying to get an idea on how far back i need to get the motor to clear my water pump and fan.

thanks in advance!

Re: need a measurement

just a clarification, the 29" measurement comes from the firewall to the top tank of the radiator.

from the firewall to the face of the radiator is just under 30". At least it was on mine once i got the front clip set back on there.
