Recently I installed a 350 SBC into my '63 GMC. When it was time to connect the driveshaft back up, there was not enough clearance to make the connection. I need about 1/16" more space. I remembered that when the engine mount stands were put in place that the mounting holes were lotted. It appears that if the 3 bolts holding each stand in place are loosened that the engine could be moved forward far enough to allow the drive shaft to be fastened in place. Am I on the right track?
