I was trying to drop my motor in today for mock up and I ran into a problem. Seems like my mounts are just too far away from the motor. The pan wont clear the rack. Any ideas?

Is that pan supposed to clear a rear steer rack?

I thought so but I could be wrong. If not what pan does? Its shallower then the autokraft.

Heres a post I found from blake,
the motor sits as low as possible the oil pan (ATS or Autokraft) is about 3/8 above the rack and it is off set to the passanger side 3/4" to clear the powersteering fitting on the rack. you should have no issues fitting the transmssion

I'm not to up on the LSX stuff. I'm sure Blake can help you. Those motor mounts don't look like the tall style. How much more do you need? Is it hitting the sump or the belly of the pan?

Belly of the pan, Odd part is its looks like Im missing about three inches still.

I'm sure Blake will have answers in the morning........But I will say that it looks like you may have the wrong motor mounts.
