More to follow but this is where I am at currently. Next the engine will go in place. I am hoping that the high hump floor will give me enough clearance to not have to cut the floor up.

On my C10, it had the low hump floor and I ended up cutting a larger hole then needed to get the trans/bellhousing to fit, mainly due to struggling with 1,500lbs of engine and transmission and getting hung up on every bend and crease in the low hump floor.

I plan on busting the cab mounts loose and temporarily placing a 2x4 in between the cab and frame to give me a little clearance. Once the engine is sitting in I will lower the cab down and hopefully clear. If not, I will figure it out later.
