I have a Dove tank and the measurement is 5 11/16" from the top bolt to the top of the radiator cap. I have a 496 in a LS and it had plenty of clearance. I mounted the upper part of the tank (its reversible) towards the center and used the stock motor mounts supplied by LS. FWIW the top of the rad cap flange is even with the top of the MSD distributor, when removed. I also used a grinder and removed the Dove logo and ribs then polished since I didn't care for the logo. There are several pics in my gallery for reference.
