    I believe I got it! thankss everyone for the assist! I can post some more pictures. I dropped the tranny down a little bit and slid everything back a little and then the engine lifted right up in place like it should be!! :beer:

    Now the exhaust for the drivers side is going to be SOOOO hard to dO! Ross steering, fuel lines, wiring, and a PTO winch shaft to all get around. :rofl:

    But I got it welded in, and all the wiring/fuel hooked up, clutch linkage hooked up. got the throttle linkage, radiator, exhaust, and drive shafts left. (and check the brake pedal throw

    You could use fenderwell headers and have room like this..

    Or, use a factory forward dump driver side exhaust manifold...

    Yeah I will have to do something like that. I was going to do the foward dump but I still dont have much room


    hahahahaha I know I know I know. I am trying to get the jeep going to 4th of july weekend at this point. I should switch it over, and sometime I will. But I would still have steering there somewhere. The PTO really hurts me as well.

    My 3B has the V6, Ross steering, a pto shaft and front dump manifold.
    It's tight but doable.
