Re: Frame Specifications.

The truck originally was a v8. I have changed the frame towers to v6 towers. We were able to force fit the motor into the mounts but when it was bolted to the frame towers the engine sat on an angle. The fan shroud was installed and the fan blade was almost touching the shroud on the passengers side and had a better than two inches of clearance on the drivers side. The passenger side exhaust manifold was darn near touching on the motor mount tower. We dried everything to try and line it up from removing the trany support bolt to changing the towers again to set from an 86 v6, but no fit. This is why I was trying to get some measurements f the frame width and such where the towers bolt up too.
Thanks for the reply, and Happy New Year.
