Believe there may be a combination of shortening in V8 engine compartments. Cowl might be a slight bit forward because of windshield but radiator is further back. The engine is nestled in the cowl area hump about the same amount as an older 8 but if you compare the upper radiator splashers, the 55-6 is quite a bit deeper and flatter than the earlier.
