I should have explain my truck. It's a 48 1 1/2 ton. I had to keep the trans in it's original location. It's a 4 speed with a PTO. Mounting the engine to the trans in it's original location had me "denting" the firewall and I still had plugwires rubbing againt the sheet metal. This also put the exhaust too close to the brake pedal arm and it stopped against the exhaust. I also center the engine in the frame rails so that required steering mod.s, which I wanted P/S anyway. Some people move the engine over to the right and the steering box to the left to get them to fit together. It's not the way I wanted to do it. A pick-up you can move the engine/trans forward a little bit to get around a few of these obsticles, but I couldn't,
