Thanks, but I would really like to keep the early frontend... Also, this is the way the shelby dakota's were done.

Shelby had the engine set back further than the '91-96 V8 trucks. About an inch if I'm right. My Shelby is down to the frame right now so I can't get a measurement. But you should be able to make yours work with the Magnum serpentine setup and electric fans.
