Both the carburetor (via intake design) and radiator (via bracketry) can scoot either way a fair amount.
To the OP, V8 K-Frames are NOT that expensive, nor that hard to find. If you're going to be tipping this car up and all that, quit dicking with this garbage "trick" you found on the internet somewhere, and just buy the right factory parts. You're not really saving anything here. If the motor is out, the K-frame is what? 6 fasteners and some T-Bars to remove?
Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Especially 5 years from now when you're looking for replacement parts.
