Jeep 4.0 in 69 Barracuda

Ok, so I will say putting the 4.0L in with the tranny is NOT (I repeat NOT) possible with out some serious tilting.

So a question to ALL. Even Magnum dude... showing my love for ya.

Has anyone had any luck cutting the upper radiator support out? I am thinking of finding another piece which I can over lap the original about 3 inches on each side. And then allowing it to bolt together. I would cut the original one straight up at the radiator opening. And as said above, allow a 3 inch over lap on both sides and bolt it on. As I recall, it doesnt really hold the radiator. Its just where the hood latch system attaches too.
