We had already cut out the transmission tunnel and yesterday Steve brought the engine and trans.



There has been a lot of talk how the TCI products don't fit but we had no problem. The motor mounts that bolt to the block are slotted and we installed them the as far forward as we could to set the engine back. The mounts were tighten on the block and it was a tight fit with the shifter clearing the cutout in the firewall and the pan clearing the radiator support but we got it in. It went in on the first try. The tranny tunnel needs to be trimmed a little more but it does not hit. The bolts went into the motor mounts with no problems and we have pan clearance at the crossmember and rack.
