Steve, If you use the original crank centerline thru the chassis and short
water pump & accessories {67 - 72 truck}. On my '54 the original automatic
trans crossmember forward 3". I am also using a turbo 400 with no floor
mods, I can even take the trans in and out without removing the floor plate,
and the HEI has plenty room. engine is centered.

set to go in. The frame has a MII installed. Does the firewall need to be
worked over for this engine trans combo to go in alright? I've seen so many
trucks with the fire wall cut up or banged up for a V8 to fit in. I've also
read alot about the engine offset to the right for the steering linkage to
fit. Do I need to get an aftermarket firewall or floor trans hump set up to
install?
