i got 14" from the center on radiator mounting bolt to the center on the motor mount, also i have 2-1/4" from the radiator surface to the heads of the bolts holding the fan on and 2-1/2" to the fan itself. any questions man, don't hesitate to ask, later. mike

my `28 tudor is 14-1/2" from the center of the radiator mounting hole to the center of the motor mount. this is for a full fendered car with a stock dimension frame.firewall reccessed 3"....if you extend the frame,it will have to be different of course
