I have a 1957 b62sx that was originally equiped with a 464a gas engine with a triplex trans. Sometime over the years it was converted to a----according to the info on the timimg gear cover-endt673. Problem is the engine seems to long. The front radiator support was modified further forward because the balancer on the front of the engine was rubbing and the fan was hitting the radiator. Because the support was moved forward it threw all the front sheet metal out of position by 2/3 inches. Doesnt look right. Two questions. Are the truck frame rails for the gas motors shorter than trucks with diesel motors??? Are there different widths for the flywheel/clutch bellhousing that would possibly pull the motor back that 2/3inches? Thanks Bob
