Now that I'm thinking about it I didn't have to modify it, it just doesn't sit straight. When you are looking at it from front of the truck with the hood open bellcrank isn't square with the engine. IIRC the ball on the engine sits farther back than the notch in the frame bracket, making it crooked. I was gonna modify or move the frame bracket, but have had bigger bugs to work out first (like hooking up the E-fan, you can see the dangling plug in the picture a few posts back). Sorry for the confusion. It seems like when most people do a v8 swap they throw in an auto, so not to many are sure about how to make the 4 speed work. I know I did alot of research when I was swapping mine and the info is hard to come by.
