I'm thinking that with the TBSS manifolds, I should do just fine heading straight down the center.
I got the engine roughly in place, and suspended from the hoist, the trans is touching the cab, the oil pan is barely above the steering rack, and the engine angle is definitely more than 3 degrees.
I'm honestly a bit perplexed, as I've seen trucks here with LS/Flatout and it doesn't look like there was any firewall modification.
In Dan's chassis below, the engine is as far forward as physics allow, as the passenger valve cover has about 50 cents worth of space until it touches the cab.
Dan, I noticed you have the trans access panel off in your can in all of your pictures.. does it fit and you just havent installed, or did you need to remove it? (hope he sees this)
