You could be right Mack. Unfortunately I have no real reference as there was no engine fitter when I bought the truck. I know i had to push it as far back as I could (its on adjustable mounts) in order to get it to clear the fan and radiator.
In actual fact I dont think its as far back as yours!
I may have a problem anyway buying one off the shelf. It seems I have an original GM mount on the gearbox, which Ive been told there are no aftermarket replacements for - I can vouch for that as everything Ive seen is bolt in.
So unless I can get a new mount and linkage set Its looking like I may have to make a shifter, that or fit the TH400 auto box I have in the garage.
Just another little test. After 3 1/2 years building this Im getting a little sick of tests!
Oh never mind, I'll sleep on it. Time for bed.
Oh and thanks for the pictures, much appreciated.
