Here are some pics loading the motor with the components. Everything that was modified or components that were added actually fit with no issues.
There was only one problem when the Stock Original radiator when drained. There was just too much residual rust to even thing about reusing it again. Did a good cleaning of all the hoses, block and metal tubes before the motor was installed. Ordered an Aluminum Radiator and will be here this week.
Drives Side Component pic. Laying out the additional reservoirs, AC condenser and hoses to make a clean engine compartment. This is going to be a tedious job with it being over 100 degrees in the shop now.
Went with the electric rad fan because it has an option for AC. There will be no need to try and sandwich a small fan between the front nose and condenser now.
PS/AC components in they’re living spots with no issues.

Thanks to all the new guys for stopping in. Appreciate the comments. Yes, it is a bit bling bling just how I planned it.

Wanted to show a scaled pic of the height of the motor for Reference.
I’m 5’ 11” and this pic was taken flat footed on the ground.
Motor Height
Installed the new Aluminum Rad and Electric Rad Fan. Fabbed up a mounting bracket for the PS Reservoir and mounted the SS Rad Overflow Tank.
This pic was taken standing on a 5 gallon bucket. This is how the engine compartment pics have been taken.
The 15” PS Finned Cooler showed up today and the AC condenser should be here middle of next week. No need to fill the Rad with water just to start the motor and have to drain it in a couple of days. Need to finish up with the remaining components that still need to be fitted and installed.
Aluminum Radiator:
Got the link off the thread about the cheap aluminum radiators in the tech section. Purchased the Genesis Auto Parts rad. It arrived on time and undamaged. Bolted rite in no issues. Installed the Electric Rad Fan and that fit as well no issues. The weight of the new Rad and Electric fan was less then the stock Rad.
So far very pleased you will have to purchase a cap. I will give further review once I get all the components installed and the motor running.

The condenser Brackets are made. As usual they took much longer to do then 1st looking at it. Also used Ospho metal prep on them and a coat of POR50 to try and keep the rust down being they are in the front catching all the elements.
Changed my mind a couple of times because the Brackets need a couple of bends. Never seem to have enough tools when you need them, so I had to do some bending the hard way. After getting everything bent up and the Condenser spaced from the Rad. I probably could have used a piece of 2x3x1/8 box tubing and cut it down to fit eliminating the need to do any bends. That would have saved a bunch of time.
Here is the Condenser mounted to the Rad and Rad Support Brackets. This can be loaded as one unit from the engine compartment to be mounted.. This makes a much more user friendly to install. The mounting bolts holding the condenser in place are located in the engine compartment with welded in nuts there is no need for another wrench.

Need to get the newly installed motor started now this has been knocked off the list. Then there will need to be some time spent on getting the PS and AC plumbed up with some hose and solid lines..
