here are some pictures and measurements. from the distributor to the fire wall there is about 3 inches max. from the water pump to the radiator there is 7 1/2 inches.
the radiator core support rubber is all new. the radiator support brackets and rubber is also all new.
I think the truck originally came with a v8. on the core support it has a sticker that says 350 v8. i am not sure if the core support is original to the truck or if the v8 in the truck is original or a replacement. the tranny however is a different story. the truck originally had a manual tranny. the PO converted it to an automatic. so i think this is where the misalignment is? here are pictures of the motor mounts and tranny mounts.i noticed that the front cross member is bolted in the middle bolt holes. im not too sure where they are supposed to be bolted at. i just ordered poly motor mounts and a small spacer to see if i can get a little more lift on the block. thanks for looking at my pictures and helping me figure out this mess.
