I'm runnin a homemade radiator now......but I want to buy a new radiator. I was just wondering about how the grill fits with the "A" hood, will it need to be lowered, sectioned, sliced and diced or what.

You'll need to cut the lower sides of the shell, so it hangs over the front of the axle. This will lower the shell and keep it parallel with the cowl. I used a piece of string as a visual guide too.
Here's a pic of the cut shell on the car:
