Re: 1957 Chevy 3100, meet 1994 Dodge Ram 1500
Well I managed to get the engine back in where it belongs. There is still a lot more work to do and a few more parts to acquire before it is running, but it is still progress.
The power steering lines are connected, I've got a pretty good sort on what I need for upper and lower radiator hoses now, and I extended the transmission cooler lines to accommodate moving the engine and transmission back 3". Nothing a few compression fittings can't handle.
I also began fabbing up an offset for the air cleaner stud, since the threaded hol for the stud is off set 3/4" and I don't have a zig zag style stud that was used on some models. 3/16" plate steel and a nut welded on will do the trick. I'm sure it will disrupt the air flow coming in to the throttle body, but since this isn't a race vehicle, I doubt my butt dyno will notice the difference.
