My 6.1 retrofit thread

Very interesting!

Im going to call TTI about the fitment issues I've had - its nothing that can't be fixed - but when you pay $180 for two steel brackets, you don't expect to have to re-fabricate them to provide firewall, right front guard and hood clearance.

Something else I've noticed is that the motor is sitting slightly "askew" - front pointing more towards the right front corner than central - along with it being close to the right guard overall.

It looks like its been put in by a drunken sailor! LOL!

Are you aware that Mopar engines are intentionally offset something like 1-1/2" to 2" toward the passenger side? This was to allow more clearance for the steering system. In other words, the centerline of the engine is NOT on the centerline of the car. (that would be the driver side down there) Unless TTI makes an Aussie version of the mounts, this only makes the steering clearance worse for you.
Sounds like you are coming along well with your project. Can't see the pictures here at work.
