Will GM 200r4 work with factory floor shift location?

You might be surprised at how much engine tether is in that upper hose.
I saw the other thread stating exhaust already disconnected.
69 model will have the wafer or biscuit type mounts. There isn't as much movement in those as in the spool mounts but the spool type are failsafe. If you break or unbolt both the biscuit mounts and the engine will fall back, destroying the distributer or worse. Be careful.

Thanks Redfish. I have a bottle jack under the engine pan (with a large piece of thick wood in between). Unless I unhook the drag ling the engine can't move down much more at all, it's almost completely resting on the drag link right now. I also have a direct view of the distributor (the cap is off) from underneath as I lower the block. I'll loosen the mounts this morning...only loosen to see if it helps. If the engine drops all the way onto the drag link I'll disconnect the drag link next. But I'll be sure to check the hoses, the top of the fan, and the distributor.
