This gives me about 3/4” clearance between water pump pulley and fan motor. It’s tight. Let’s hope for no flex. This system utilizes a high mount alternator tho. So high that it is about 1/2” from the hood. So, I put another cross bar to protect it in case of rollover, etc. This bar will also help protect the radiator top tank. (still need to flange it for removal) Had to cut the radiator in the grill about 1.5” at the top and 2.5” or so at the bottom. Clearance below with the pinion brake is a lot tighter than I would like as well.







Hood clearance to fit top tank. So much for the stock hood latch.





I originally mounted my evaporator and lockoff to the this bar as well, but then moved it due to clearance issues with radiator hoses etc. I liked it on the front bar, but it’s more practical on the firewall for sure.
