If you are sure it has the original k-frame, and it has never been wrecked.... the steering box and column angle looks like it is correct to me, then a correct rear dump hp exhaust manifold will fix that area, I don't know if e-bodies used the same log type as a c-body. The engines do not sit perfectly straight in there, keeps the u-joints happy. I will verify 68 c-body mounts will work, they go to the rear of the block ears.


I'm sure it does still have the original K frame in it. Doesn't appear to have ever been wrecked. also I don't believe the column has ever been out of it. One of the first things I wanted to do was to make sure it had the correct mounts on it too.

I agree that the motors in general don't fit perfectly straight but this one just seems way more noticeably raised up from right to left as you face the motor. Little more difficult to see in the picture than it is in person.
