Forum Members: This question came in over the transom from SDC member Larry Walter.
I cannot answer the question and he is not on the forum, so I offered to post it here and will direct him to the forum.
Meanwhile, if anyone has input on this, please post. Thanks. Bob

Bob, I am running a short water pump Chevy 350 with a 700R4 in this car.
I want to replace it with a GM LS engine but am concerned about the length of the LS since the current setup just fits with an engine driven fan.
There is no room to move the radiator since the AC Condenser just fits behind the grill.
Do you know if anyone has done this or if the LS is the same or shorter than the current engine? I am not concerned about the electric hookup as I have done EFI engine swaps in Studes before. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Larry Walter.
