The mounts from Jeff look like they are going to do the trick. The next hurdle is the clutch fork and throwout bearing geometry. We ended up using a Lakewood scattershield and we had ordered a new fork from Jegs along with the short style throwout bearing. When the trans was bolted up the end of the fork was already hitting the firewall.

Now we are exploring an adjustable clutch fork ball to move the pivot point toward the pressure plate, or a longer throwout bearing. We did run out to the parts store and were able to find the long style throwout bearing, but it was too long and ate up all available freeplay. It was compressing the pressure plate diaphragm by the time the trans was tightened.

Anything we could be missing?
