I have a 72 k5 blazer. My motor was removed (stolen). I am now reassembling my truck and the oil pan of the new motor is rubbing on the crossmember. When the truck was disassembled they also removed the engine crossmember but they left it with the truck. I’m 95% sure it is installed the correct way. But not sure why the oil pan is rubbing. Truck was factory 350/th350/205. It is now 350/th350/205 so I’m not sure why it is rubbing. Any ideas? Motor mounts are autozone cheapos but they are what I used for the last motor and don’t run into this issue.
