It's a good thing these motors don't have distibutors @ the back of the manifold. The fit is tighter than my wallet .....
So, you're using an off the shelf adapter plate instead of the PB plates? I would definitely recommend the F-body pan; from test fits in the Blazer, I would say it is a necessity.
