4-1/2" Z, How much to cut for the motor
Im installing my 350/700r4 back into my 78 c10.
I removed the trans tunnel so far, I will cut the rear for the drive shaft. Im wondering if anyone else has a 4-5" Z that can tell me What clearance issues I will run into. Will the HEI distributor clear? Will the transmission clears? Anything else? |

Sorry, wish I had the answer for you! But I'm curious why you did such a large z?

I wonder if you will have exhaust issues, like you might have to add length to the headers so they come down low enough to clear the cab floor? also, you may want to pancake your crossmember so you can drop your engine down a little bit.
