67 frame modifications to fit power steering gearbox

I've read many threads on here and the "have to dimple" or not vs run spacers or not....

seems the issue there is yeaqr/stlye of power steering box. I can say for a fact my frame has the raised bosses on it but the 73-up box I have won't fit without dimpling the frame....or adding spacers. Since I didn't want any effect on steering geometry I dimpled the frame.

That was easy enough with a plumbing mapp gas canister and a big hammer....

Now...I have interference at the core support mount. I've read a bunch of threads on this and never saw anyone mention that. Itks not a hbuge deal as I can cut the offending piece off without affecting the strength or function of the mount.....just curious if anyone else has run into this issue?
