I figured out the problem I had the engine frame mounts backwards there was a small offset which caused the engine to sit back too far once I swapped them all the existing bolt holes lined up looks good now the crank pulley comes close to the cross member but I think it will clear. Just need to test fit the headers again start bolting the transmission on get everything ready to drop in. Thanks for the help. The big block sits farther forward but I knew it needed to go in the front holes at least that is what I read. The radiator will come close has a long water pump hope everything fits I can always go with electric fan.
