I have a ton of questions but I’ll try to keep it to a minimum. Just interested in knowing what ya’ll did or had to do to make it work.
1) did you use an electric fan?
2) did you move rad support out towards the front in where I think it would be if it had a straight 6.
3) what’s considered level for the engine? Is that a thing? The intake or valve covers or ?
4) did you have to cut anything to make it fit right? Like the original trans crossmember?
5) when I replaced the rearend we put it at 4 degrees because thats what I kept reading it should be. What degree should the trans be? Rear is out of a 76 trans am. Not that it matters in reference to the question.
The truck was barely together when I got it. Some of it was literally held together with wire and lots of things missing. It sat for 20 yrs in a field in Montana. I’ll try to attach some photos

Thanks in advance for any help you can give
