Had the bare engine block set on blocks to figure out where I wanted it, didn't have the heads on, and I don't have headers yet either. Started on my firewall, and as you can see in the pics, I effed up. I had to recess the wall, got it deep enough, but not wide enough. Luckily before I welded in the firewall, I placed the heads on, and realinzed the covers won't fit. Then, I put the dash in and as you can see, the steering coulmn comes thru the wall right on the seam. Now I'm wondering if I'm going to have enough room on the drivers side for the steering linkage and the exhaust. Its a Dakota clip, and planned on centering the 383. Think I might have to move it to the left 1-2".
