I was thinking motor mounts, drivers side stretched, passenger side compressed. Went out and measured my '66, sure as sh!t, air cleaner bolt is 3/8" closer to the passenger side. I have solid mounts, and a collision free frame. 27 years and I never noticed.
I always dug "Shaker's", but would never have been so adventuresome as to contemplate a transplant on my Chevelle. I kinda like it, but personally I think that a '67 Malibu hood would be the best fit, the offset wouldn't be nearly as noticeable with out '66 hood lines.
Look forward to see the finished product, use a cheap chrome air cleaner base that sits flat on top of the carb, cut it out (round or square) just off center. Then tack weld it square to the shaker base.
Just a simple suggestion, to see how you like it, right now you seem a little aprehensive. You can get a good representation of the concept, without totally committing a bunch of time and work on it, just give it a fair "shake".
