It's a 1/2 inch from the firewall and there's a 1 1/4 gap in between the radiator and water pump shaft.

Re: 250 engine on s10 frame in a 49 pickup
looking at the last photo you posted, it looks like the motor is mounted very low. Is there some reason for that?

That's where it fit in the frame the best, and I didn't want a trans tunel.
