Got the motor and trans mocked up to build mounts. With the high hump floor I have all kind of room. We’ve got the front of the motor sitting about 3” higher than it has to be but it gives me plenty of room for headers and nothing is close. Running about a 3° down angle on everything so I think that’s we’re it’ll live. Everything is sitting level with the crossmembers.

Before you finalize the location of the engine, I would estimate the angle of the driveshaft so that you can approximate the front and rear operating angles. You may find that running the engine more parallel with the chassis will help, given such a low rear ride height.

I really appreciate the input. I’ve moved it down to about .5° now and still can access the alternator and compressor bolts. That was a concern of mounting it too low and having to jack the engine up to service them.
