65 Coronet BB swap

[Al W]

Hi, I have a Coronet that I have been working off and on for a while and ran into a problem. originally had a 361 engine in it I changed the K Frame in it to a O'Reilly coil over! I also rebuilt a 413 block that i had but when I put the Clutch fan and Radiator back in I didn't have clearance also the oil filter is in line with the lower outlet. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Picture would help. Is the engine offset to passengers side like stock?

 

[Al W]

Yes I had thought of that but the transmission lines up in the cross member!

You could get a water pump housing from a later big block that moves the inlet to the passenger side. Then you would have to move radiator inlet to match.

PASSENGER SIDE !

Sounds like engine located forward from stock. Are you using the 1965 TF or later longer xmission?
