Tincup's 63 Dart w/5.7 Hemi

Tin, just thinking out loud here, but do you have the engine to far foward and too low? Maybe my eye is not seeing clearly, but the distance from the water pump to the back of the fan seems awfully close, is that 2-3 inches? How much clearence between the rack and pan, 1/4 inch or so? Does the pan sit on top of the rack? Can the engine sit a tad higher? Do you have about 3-6 degrees down at the back of the engine, that would kick the front up a tad? Like I said my 1 eye has trouble seeing things in pictures versus in the flesh so to speak.

5.7, The engine location is determined by the AlterK. It cannot go back any further otherwise it will hit the firewall. The pan is resting on the rack (without a gasket). I don't have an angle finder, but the engine is at least 3 degrees down. I really don't want to raise the engine any because I have tunnel issues with the trans. As it is now, I'm going to have to cut the firewall up another couple inches, any more and I'll have to take out the heater.
