Tilting your engine back is correct, but if you will lay a level on your carburetor, and level it front to back, then put a level on your valve covers. You should have a tilt to the rear. Every engine swap I’ve ever done, that’s the way I’ve done it. Do you want
correct, I did have it leaned back so that the oil pump pickup won't risk starving on braking, with the trans spacer in it, it's still tilted back but before it was too much tilt.
no interference, stock steering linkage clears with no issues, used a universal steering shaft to hook up the column to the factory manual steering gear.
thank you for this video i got a 95 2.5 L that i’ve been thinking about doing a sbc swap and I am just in the research phase of the process.
Glad to help! Let me know if you have any questions in the event that you do the swap
Good video though, well presented and good information
