I'll revise the question, does the engine lean backwards a bit? just so I know whether to lift te gearbox an inch or so, or modify the exhaust to overcome the downward angle of the headers.
the cargo light issue is solved, a member on the dutch Chevy truck forum came through with a connector he had laying aroung for a Desoto..
I had to modify it a bit, but it works!
Also hooked up the dome light
and is this the spot for the dome switch?
