47-55.1 Eliminate draft tube options - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'll post pics of the bell housing and the block in a bit, I'm busy taking a rest....LOL

The issue is one of spacing of the four block holes to be used and the adjustably of the moveable arms on the stand. I can get the top two on easily, but given the horizontal and vertical distance, the arms for the lower bolts rest up against the rear end cap and crankshaft. To avoid them resting against the crank, I can only get one of the two lower arms attached.

This was after two hours of fidgeting with it.
