Went in easier than I thought.  I will note that Chrysler engineers left no room for error.  As I was lowering the body onto the the K-frame, I found that there was little more and a 1/4 inch space between exhaust manifolds and the sides of the frame.  Hoping to have in running in a week or so.

I don't have any 400k or smaller pictures of it but I grab a few and post them.  I had a Yarborough Spoiler II about 10 years back.  I regret selling that one.

Speaking of details, does anyone know if the brake booster vacuum hose goes through the same L-shaped bracket under the throttle cable bracket that the PCV hose routes?  There seems to be plenty of room but  I can't find a clear picture on the net.
