Carl: Right now the engine/tranny is just hanging in place from the engine hoist as I get a general idea of how much clearance I have at various points. From time to time I will throw out a perceived problem and may later find no problem exists. This is my first go-round with a 350/first series swap and getting your input as I go is better than screwing something up and having to back-track. I do have classic engineering mounts and I see the motor mount tube is wider than my frame and must be cut down to fit my truck. It also appears that the engine mount brackets will bolt to the frame right where the front brake lines pass thru the frame. Will I have to re-locate the brake lines, or am I getting ahead of myself again? It looks like it's about time to spring for intake manifold, carburetor, and HEI distributor to help nail down exact engine location. Thanks to you and everyone helping to walk me through this.
