what year truck? i z-ed mine 4" with 3" spindles and plates/cups. i moved my engine ahead 3", to a forward set of holes on the frame, only had to drill an extra hole in the crossmember. plenty of dizzy clearance, hood clearance is still up there with a quadrajet and 3" filter. whats funny is with the engine moved to this set of holes, and a 700r4, you can use a buick roadmaster driveshaft with just a different rear u-joint, and the length is perfect, with a coil sprung rear.

just curious, what made you decide to go with 6"?
