Well, ran into a problem

As many of you know, I am in the middle of a big project that started out with swapping out my 307 small block for a big block. All was going seemingly well. Was tackling the big block fitment issues with a 2" body lift. My truck has been at the paint shop for a while and this weekend they started placing the body on the frame only to find out that I still have a big problem with the engine hitting the firewall. More than likely I will deal with this problem by moving the engine forward about 1 1/2". The bright side is the paint on the truck is looking great and it will all be worth it in the end.

My other two options are to cut and modify the firewall or add a larger body lift. Don't really want to do either of those options but I haven't made up my mind completely yet.
