Got the truck into the barn, and manged to wrestle the engine in for a dry fit for header clearance and frame clearance. Fit pretty good, will need to shave some metal off front cross member, but no big amount for crank pully clearance.

Here is shot of header collector and the space needed to fit between motor mount and steering box.



and lastly the amount I had to move the engine foward. If I'm lucky the drive line still may not to be lengthend
just need to move tranny mount foward a inch.


All in all a good afternoon after some heavy duty physical therapy to left knee. The therapist thought I was crazy to be doing this by myself, but I told him the cherry picker does all the lifting, the worst part was pushing that heavy old truck up into the garage bay!
