Paul,  No new ideas  just an adjustment for the new S-beam
location.  Clearly it would be possible to raise the radiator some by
1) putting a smaller screen on the pick up and reducing the width of
the bottom flat and/or 2) decreasing the depth of the pan, or 3)
angling  the rad and plenum upward to the front. Plenty of room for
maneuvering. Pan depth and capacity are important too so I will keep
as much as possible.      A larger radiator could be used used no
problem.  As far as the new pick up tube is concerned,  off the shelf
copper tubing is what I am thinking. Oil/air sep is an option.  I am
tending toward not using one.

Just as in past versions the pan wedges down to about six inches wide
at the bottom rear. Instead of drawing that view I will attempt a 3D
in a couple of days.
