It also looks like the transmission is clocked, as if you had an adapter plate intended for a third gen or have the transmission mounted in the wrong set of holes in the adpater.

Finally, have you checked driveline angles. There appears to be a LOT of room in your transmission tunnel.

Thanks for you help but I think we are on a different page.

FWIW - Here's my '69 SBC w/ T-56 Mag.


W/ Moroso solid motor mounts.

I did a fair amount of massaging of the firewall to clearance the QT bellhousing.

Is this a hydraulic setup. Thank you for your help. Appreciate the pictures..
