74S rear ride height after 3.2 swap

I guess the 3.2 weighs a bit more than the stock 2.7. As you can see the rear is a tad squatted due to the additional weight of the 3.2. Also, to be fair, the fuel tank is EMPTY, and I mean zero fuel so that will certainly bring the nose down a bit before adjusting. This should be fun. I am letting a qualified shop do this work as math is not my strong suit.

Who knows, once the tank has fuel in it (there is zero now), it may look correct.

You'll probably need to move to a bigger rear torsion bar to carry the weight. If you are at stock, the factory went to a 25 rear bar.
