hi guys

i dropped in a borrowed lsx motor and 4l60e today..whoooo hooooo

BUT DOH!!!!

with the motor @ 4 DEGRESS AND centered in the frame i have one problem.
my steering knuckle is right where the oilpan bolts to the motor..F@CK
i had to drop the vette oil pan off to get the motor in because the wings on the pan hit the mounts that come off of the crossmember when trying to put the motor in.....F@##n car building sucks sometimes....
MY crossmember and steering was all based around a lt1-4l60e.....and i just had to be a MEMBER OF THE NEW SCHOOL WITH AN LS1..IM NOT STUPID AND THIS LOOKS LIKE A REAL PROBLEM THAT MAY FORCE ME BACKWARDS ...NOW IM NOT SURE WHAT TO DO!!!!! DAMN THIS IS FRUSTRATING
ANYBODY?

PICS ATTACHED

That is what I was thinking, most swappers run the F-body pan because the vette pan will not work.
