Well, it doesn't have the intake oe air cleaner yet...and its sitting on new stock mounts, below i attached a pic before i took the engine out, you can see how low it sits even with the air cleaner...maybe one of the oldtimers can be more tech...or even julie...

Could have been...I'm not positive, but I don't know if a 350 would even fit with the stock mounting plates...it would make sence your engine would sit hight due to clearence issue with the running gear

That looks great!

I love before and after pics. Take lots of pictures of the truck and the little one during the restoration, and 25 years from now when she is doing it again, she will have some before and afters!
