Need ideas. Radiator and accessory drive

[BBC71Nova]

Ok this project is gonna cause me to start drinking, errr more .

I've been talking to Ron Davis about a radiator w/shroud and fan setup. I also was planning to run the Frontrunner accessory drive. Unlike the cool kids I'm planning to run a big block. The car is a '71 Nova. I've got the block and trans installed for mockup.

So now it gets interesting. From block face to core support face I have roughly 13.25". From what I've been able to find out the Frontrunner requires about 6.5". More at the A/C compressor but that's because of the clutch stick out which given the location I don't think that will be an issue. The radiator and fan setup needs 7". Hmm so 7 + 6.5 = 13.5 > 13.25 = I'm screwed .

I looked high and low to find an accessory drive that requires less room but it seems like the Frontrunner requires the least. Any suggestions? May look at the PRC radiator setups but they look to also be similar depth.

Ideas? Suggestions? LS conversion is looking really good about now...

Thanks!
