You are correct Richard. The 8V92's had a steep hump in the rear to allow the rear radiator to sit in place but the Series 60 required a raised floor covering a significantly larger area. The Series 60 is 8" shorter (front to back), 12" narrower, but 3" taller. NOTE: the external dimensions are the same on the 12.7L and the 14.0L Series 60.
While 3" doesn't seem like much, there just isn't much room above the 8V92 to start with. That was the reason for the revised floorplans with the raised rear closet when the Series 60's were introduced. The radiator was moved to the drivers side, the engine moved rearward and the floor above the engine was raised, as I recall in coach 363, a 1994 model.
