I just spent most of my day today trying to line up my buddy's 350 with his tranny and then doing the motor mounts. I bought his old motor to use until I can rebuild my 383. Now that we finished his motor I can pull my 383 and put in the 307 i got from him. My 383 is ready to pull and the 307 is ready to drop in. Any good advice on how I can make the install as easy as possible?
