From that thread you posted, sounds like the 302-1 really interferes when you have a rack. For the 302-2 you gain clearance around your steering components but you have to slide the motor back to clear the crossmember, thus creating a tight fit around the firewall. Pick your poison!
Thank you for laying it out. I think I'd rather have the 302-1. I don't plan on going to R&P steering.
