I'd give the guy at G-Force a call. I've spoken to him a couple of times and he's always been helpful. He can at least confirm that the crossmember was designed for a big block setup. It does appear from the pics that way but the offset looks much more significant than I would expect. I think the offset is only 5/8" or something <1" anyway. The longer trans would require more off set though due to the angles involved.
Anyway, if that is the case I guess you could swap your mounts out? Although not sure that would be what you'd want to do and could just move the problem. It might help your steering box clearance though. I have a set of big block frame stands and a couple different sets of solid mounts I could send your way to experiment with if you'd like. |
Thanks John...I may take you up on that offer if I can't get this setup to work. I did speak with the tech guy over at G-Force. He was very helpful and very knowledgeable. He pointed out something I'm surprised I did not catch. He told me the tail of my transmission needs to be shifted over to the passenger side of the car. He said the mount should fit no problem. He also told me to double check my motor pedestals to see if I had them on backwards. They weren't. However, shifting the tail of the trans over just may be the ticket. I was having some clearance issues in the tunnel with my transmission on the drivers side that I was not expecting. That little bit of shift just may give me the amount of clearance I'm looking for with the driver's side header fitting to the DSE steering box as well. Now I just gotta figure out how to shift all that weight over to the passenger side by myself
