Took the cab off and hung the engine & trans over the frame and I have all the fitment problems I'm sure others have had. Power steering pump is in the way- - AC pump is in the way- - if they are moved I can lower the engine but then the oil pan is too low - - crossmember behind the trans will hit the driveshaft. So now research time. Probably some of you guys reading this have dealt with these problems, 80 Camaro subframe LS 5.3 from a 05 pickup and making it fit. If I could find someone's build with pics. that would be a huge help. If anyone chimes in with info, thanks ahead.
