There's no hole in this block there

Mine has one at/above the oil filter mounting pad @ the edge of the block. It's a tight fit for the sending unit(s) I've used but they fit. Of course it's easy to just stretch the existing wires to length as needed.

Mine has that too but my hacked wire harness won't reach that eather this truck has been bolth butchered and burnt before and really just needs all new wire harnesses but after tonight that's the least of my worries.
 
Ok where do I start???? The bell and torque converter bolts went in no problem then I started the fight with the motor mounts. I just couldn't get the bolts threw the second hole. I remedied the issue with the engine hoist. Next I fit the left header, like a glove! Beautiful on zzto the right and that's when it started going bad. The right one is against the frame rail and hitting the u-joints on the front drive shaft. The down side to having a 60 I guess. I'm just going to put it on and deal with it later because I need my dam truck back! I put the starter up but it's not hooked up yet because the insulation is crumbling off the starter wires and though I'd like light it on fire I'm not ready to yet. Then I test fit the new radiator NFG!it's literally an inch to short but I think I have a fix for that. I'm thinking thick rubber mounts to make up the difference

No I'm not giving up on it I'm tired and just need to catch a break. I think for now I'm just going to force it together and let the exhaust clearance it's self
