Can anyone send me a photo of their engine bay for reference? In particular I would like a photo showing the space between the radiator shroud and the motor as a reference (having the frame bumper horns tweaked on Saturday).
Thanks in advance! Email: Written to thwart grazing. Use "@" and (.) traineng (at) hughes (dot) net Paul.

I sent you one that I had on my phone. My car is in storage so it's the best I have. Hope it helps.

Thank y'all that sent the "cards n letters" (pix!)! I realize I could have been a little over-sensitive to the amount (or lack there of) space between the shroud and the motor - mostly concerned about the hoses, etc that are sandwiched in between. And, apparently, from the pix, it was for good reason. But! it isn't nearly as bad as I thought.
The pix have/will help immensely on Saturday!! Thanks everyone again! Paul.

My big concern was the horns might have been bent back and upward slightly, pushing the radiator back, sandwiching the A/C canister and the various plumbing between the shroud and the motor.
Thanks to the photos y'all sent me (thank heaven for this FORUM!), what I thought was some smooshing in that area was actually about normal: I had it in my mind the A/C canister (for one example) was NOt tucked under the cross-over coolant pipe, as it IS (after all!). Well, apparently, the 'fulcrum' point where the horns bent were in the general vicinity of the motor mounts. I believe the horns ARE STILL bent ever so slightly, due to all indications, but not so much as I initially thought, nor anywhere near enough to affect the radiator/motor space to any important degree. So! The radiator/shroud etc, went together fine yesterday (Thanks, to Marc H for that tip on cutting a little corner modification to the shroud housing near one of the shroud's bolts). It's good enough to drive to the frame shop on Saturday, but once I crawled under the front end - fitting the various radiators to their respective rubber mounts - it is obvious all the radiators are going to have to come out again, to replace the bottom half of the shroud UNLESS I can fab up a mount to replace one that holds some of the air dam pieces in place. (I hate kluged "fixes", but this one is out of site and would just replace a support tab.) Making progress!
