Ok hope this helps understand what I am talking about for the firewall as it might not be as big of a deal as words make it sound but then again it might. I cut the trans tunnel and floor pans on both passenger and drivers side out and the pans going up to the firewall dropped about an inch. Here are a couple pics, none of the exterior measurements listed have been touched unless something bends while it is sitting like this.

Yes it bends and you need to add more bracing. Remove the dash if you hadn't already and get everything back to square and tack weld, screw or nail. You could almost make a jig you can transfer from one tub to another tub.

Well the Blue tub is gone, but got the 70 tub brought up and onto the rotisserie and into the house out of the weather. It was a chore, towed it up next to the house by dropping the front of the frame on the tailgate of the truck and strapping it in, then had the hoist pick the tub up and drug the farme out from under it while it was suspended in air, slid the rotisserie under it. Finally after the wife got home we used the ridding lawnmorer to drag the rotisserie up and into the basement using the hoist to lift it up over the lip of the concrete. Where it is sitting now. Oh and I dropped the frame of the rotisserie down a notch so the top could fit on top of the tub properly.
