Rodger,

Please verify: You are using an aluminum Corvette front crossmember, and that the engine placement is correct relative to the cross member.

The engine is 3.5" back from stock. The torque tube is stock length and there is room to run Tyler's Sidewinder system on the front of the engine now.

We plan to relocate the firewall back.

Nope.

Factory cradles, yes. Engine placement is further rearward than factory. Those laser cut mounts shown moved it 2 inches further back (maybe more) to allow for my Sidewinder accessory drive and so I could use a factory length torque tube.
