Re: 6.0 into a 72 K10 Do I have to move tranny forward?

I think you can use off road designs crossmember to solve the clearance issues. Otherwise you looking at dirty dingos 4x4 crossmember

I used ebay adapters on mine..had no clearance issues...they kept the rear of the LS engine in the same postion as the smallblock..didn't have to move anything...until I put that nv4500 behind it..then I had to move my trans crossmember back 1 1/2"

Picked up the Dirty Dingo crossmember kit today after talking on the phone with them. Still had to mod the firewall a bit as valve covers are almost touching stock firewall with TH 350 in stock location. Don't want to change tranny or driveshafts as truck drives smooth...Pic to follow.
