Finally put in the 455.... BUT...
Well.... after some welding.... and some swapping, I put that Olds 455 in my 70 C10.... it's not running yet tho.... got the headers on, everything looks good, except the engine angle. With the stands that I have.... there is no way to lower the motor any more and fit the headers (or any exhaust manifold for that matter)... I am measuring between 6º and 7º.... there is no more room to raise the transmission either without cutting into the fw....
What is the best way to measure the angle (I used the valve cover with a ruler and level)..... and can I live with 6 or 7º?
thx....
