1970 Duster, Trans-Am-inspired "Pro Touring" build

The next major task is getting the aluminum radiator from Engineered Cooling Products installed but it's a tad too tall compared to my old stock one. I don't have the hood on the car to check but how far can the top of the rad and cap stick above the upper core support (or whatever that's called) before it'll hit the hood?

I also need to get the trans cooler lines in order, was going to convert them to braided SS line with AN fittings but my aux. cooler only has simple flared hose fittings on it which aren't removable. I guess I'll have to bend up some hard lines, I'd rather not have 3 feet of rubber hose going to and from the cooler lol.
