I would really like to know

I can tell you that nothing was forced and it slipped right in. matter of fact the last time we set the engine in the engine bay it took exactly 20 minutes from the time it was lifted off the engine stand till I unhooked the chain from the engine. I made a bet with the boys that it could be done. now you have my curiosity peaked here. I am going to have to look real close at this k frame when it comes out and measure and see what it is all about. I can assure you that when the engine sat down in the cradle, it went right in. we sat the engine in without the tranny. lifted it off the stand raised it up and then pulled the car up under the engine and let her down.
