Radiator and fan clearance stock 66 Dart GT with 225

Well I tried to fit the radiator today and there's no way it will fit. I did purchase the correct radiator, the hose inlets and mounting plate (although off mounting holes) line up but it sit way too forward the fan will not fit on with or without the spacer. So back it goes. Anyone have a resource for a new radiator that will fit, local shops do not want to do re-core of my old rad.
