Of course I am doing this outside like a run of the mill swap would go and I only have the weekends to work on it... Man I need my garage back.I'd like to go check that out some time. While Earl's just going to get some re-sealing and re-wiring done for the near future, I'm really jonesing to drop something a little more modern under the hood, and would be a lot more comfortable with it if I saw it first hand.

This is how mine lined up with the engine bolted to the transmission. The Trans is bolted to its cross-member and both drive-shafts are installed, so the transmission is in the exact same spot it was when I had the Gen1 360 installed.

That is the issue, the plates aren't designed to put the engine in the same exact spot as the original SBC, typically the trans crossmember has to be moved.
