project killers twin 10 (gen5 10 speed trans)

[68 short step]

as many may know these engine don't have provisions for power steering, or power brake booster vacuum outlet...
so to overcome that, we went with holleys front mount accys.. this is a really nice kit that comes with a new water pump housing/mounting bracket for the alt., a/c compressor, and power steering pump...the stock GEN5 water pump and front accy design is rather awkward looking to me anyways, and this kit give it a sleeker more 'traditional' look..as for the powered brakes, we are going with a hydro boost setup, so no need to tap vacuum off the engine, altho factory trucks have a vacuum pump mounted low on the driver side of the engine, that's belt driven..

This is where I am with a Gen V 5.3 L83 swap in my 72 c10. My question is how far back to position the engine. By the pictures here it looks like yours is a bit farther back than mine. Am I correct in thinking the size of the blocks are the same?
Very nice work man...
