'59, with a fresh 235
The engine is sitting in the otherwise empty chassis and I'm trying to install the clutch & pressure plate. Clutch is in fine, but I cannot get the pressure plate up under the bell housing. The frame's crossmember prevents me from getting it at a flat enough (vertical) angle to go up in there.
(I've removed the ball for the clutch lever, so that's not what it's hitting on. It's clearly the frame crossmember.)
Do I have to lift up the rear of the engine to get the necessary clearance? I really don't want to do that, but I don't see any other way.
