If I were you I would take the front sway bar off Jam the motor in the hole so there's weight in it tow it to the shop get it 98% set and then bring it back..
I have alignment turn plates and Camber and Caster gauge is so I don't have to deal with Towing at somewhere lol

Re: 72 Ultra Orange - Bucket List Restomod

personally I would try for 5.0 to 5.5 caster 1.5 camber 1/8 or so toe. main thing is both sides very close on caster. my car is at 5.8 caster and 1.8 neg camber haven't driven it yet... I still have to do my unflared cars alignment and will try for similar on pumpkin. the rack tie rods are stiff to ...

Re: 72 Ultra Orange - Bucket List Restomod

have you pulled the front wheels forward yet for more Caster because it doesn't look like it in the pictures. need that done before assuming swaybar is good.. IMO..

that will straighten the tie rods too I think 🤔
