would a low profile oil pan help get the front of the engine down enough?
I don't understand, when I was a teenager, me and friends would swap engines from one vehicle to another all the time. The most thought was what to use to lift the engine. We even used the swing set at the local elementary school as a gantry once.
So I wouldn't think putting a SBC into a 1961 pickup would be so hard! If anyone could give some advice I would surely appreciate it. This is quickly becoming not very fun.
