No need to move it with a small block.You might need to put a small dent if using a H.E.I. distributor. Aftermarket like MSD are smaller and should work.

I have about a 5" recess into the cab, and about 16" wide. Got a heating contractor to bend up a square box to rivet and "glue" into place. Looking back, it didnt need to be that big. I had to 86 the heating unit. dang floor heats up plenty with a v8 anyway. it is nice to have that area open back there to wrench on the tranny bellhousing bolts. plenty of clearance for the distributor.

have fun

i preferred to recess mine instead of hammering it. i did it with thin sheetmetal. Http://photos.yahoo.com/barlienringo Bryan
