I have some issues here!!!
I put the engine and tranny on the frame tonight. The balancer will clear the Rack and pinion with no issues. The motor mounts may be in wrong as the shaft for the steering will never work the way it is. Also I would like to know if the tranny on anyones truck is below the frame rails?? 73-87. I have the tranny member that i got from bill turner. I took a straight edge and ran it across the bottom of the frame rails and the tranny pan barely hits it by maybe a 1/4". I will shim till it clears the frame. I have attached a few pics. Nothing is mounted yet. Anyone one have any input?? I bought polyuerathane mounts also. Damn things where $100 for the engine and 1 tranny. Do you think I need to run the tall mount instead of short to clear the rack shaft?
