You better check the run-out and make sure the mounting surface is parallel to the block face before you stuff it in there. I've never heard of one that couldn't use shims and dowels to line it up to the crank centerline correctly.

My 1970 e-body with Lakewood and block saver fits just fine. I installed it with the transmission off and it went right in. No problems. It is a bit tight near the headers and I had to notch it.
