I did not take the time to read all of the above post, but I did read your original post.
(1) Send snail mail address for my freebie V8 installation instruction manual if you have not yet done so !!!!!!!!!
(2) Your motor needs to go rearward about 1 1/2", and then you need to put a dog leg into your shift lever to clear heater.
(3) Your front motor mounts are poo poo, they will rip out the rubber cushions bolted to the block. Since you need to re-motor mount anyway, use my motor mount kit (or equivalency) that puts the cushion down at the frame where it does not get mover around so much.
I can go on and on with stories, history, and parts, but this info will get you started on the right path for now.
