I have the same problem, although it is hit and miss. May have something to do with how the camera was held?

Motor in! Worked out perfect doin it like this. Cradle was at the perfect height and when the car came down K member was an inch away from the frame. Biggest pain was starting the bolts in the trans crossmember.
Another snafu is header on driver side touching torsion bar. It also dumps straight at the floor crossmember and not where the notch is for the factory exhaust.
That looks like fun I wish I was there to help
Somehow replacing the rusty frame on that van was quite as satisfying as I bet this was.

Can we have a pic of your engine roller stand with out engine ?? Please
I'll have to go with "What did you do to the Coronet this past month" Got the new heads from Toth Performance installed, painted the headers which I had to clearance for the new starter, and installed a Lokar kickdown cable. I ended up having to get a new Spectre throttle cable and bracket which needed modified to work with the Lokar. Took it for a short ride yesterday and I have to say my home made kickdown was way off. Transmission shifts so much nicer now. I still need to tweak it a little and I think the carb needs cleaned out or I might have a float sticking. Stumbled once or twice at stop signs and header temps are different at cylinders fed by opposite sides of the plenum. Kinda of a bummer that you can't see the name on the heads with the steering pump, alternator and wires in the way.
Nice going Mark, looks tidy
Looks great.
Mark,
How do you like those heads?
I should pull Max out and see if Mike left any tire back there for me.
