Header to Firewall
Steering shaft to Header
Block to rack and pinion fitting
Alternator Low mount CTSV to subframe
Alternator to motot mount.
Bellhousing to firewall, ( i have to remove the subframe to change the clutch)
master cylinder to valvecover (depending on both)
So after all that we decided to keep the engine in the same spot as the BBC and SBC
It makes for an install that the guy at home can do with no issues. I think that is what the majority of customers want rather than the engine moved back 1 to 1.5"

I have no idea what you just said..... in that "yep that's correct" as in the motor mounts might be on wrong? Or in "Yep that correct" as in that's the clearance you built into your sub?
All of this kind of stuff is so hard to "judge" just looking at photos.... But it "appears" to have a LOT of bellhousing "exposed".
