I did what Gus did, had the water pump machined off the thickness [ 1/4' ] from the back of the pump housing. If you don't have a friend with a mill buy a crank spacer. On location of the engine , just buy a ANDYF plate as shown above from Mancini and it'll place your engine correctly on the frame rail and look good doing it.


it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead
