try putting it in the bed

. when i first got my truck i noticed a 75 luv sitting in a parking lot. i was checkin it out and a guy came out the bar and told me 300 for it. well it had a 3.8 in it and he said he had to relocate it to the bed that there was no way it would fit. i was stupid and didn't buy the truck :oops:

i have no clue why :oops:

I was fittin to say that it looked like you could cut off that arm that sticks out.....
I know I had to do alot of trimming on the stuff for the s-10 4x4 blazer I put that V-8 in....I had purchased all the brackets to put a serpentine belt and air back on it and everything was too high for the hood....ended up going with the V-belt and no air.....d'oh!
