Alright everyone Im back with more questions. I finally got the 327 stuffed in between the frame rails but now I seem to have a new issue. The 327 I got has a HEI on it and with the engine sitting in its place the very top back of the wires and cap are all the way against the firewall so should I be looking to pull the HEI out and put a low profile ignition in its place or what? I would like to keep the HEI but dont want to damage anything. What do you all think? If it helps Ill try to post some pics tommarrow.
Thanks
Tim
