I got it in!

I got it in!

First, THANKS EVERYBODY for all the kind words. I'm finally feeling like the hard work is paying off. I have really been making progress and cant wait to post more PICs as I figure stuff out.

I like it very much but the passenger side would worry me. I think you'll get it straighten out since you're so close. Good job.

That is my project for the next few days... gotta figure something out...

would it help to lift the motor a bit in the front regarding the pass. side ? Just shim the mount on this side?

Right now I have a 1/4 shim under the drivers side to clear that brake prop valve I mentioned. I am gonna move that prop valve, then see if I can remove the shim, maybe it will relocate to the center a bit. I am gonna make a 1/8 shim just in case, but tinkering yesterday proved that adding a pass side shim yesterday just move the motor up, not away...

I had the same problem with the passenger side on my car. I just trimmed the valve cover where it was too close to the shock tower. I doesn't give you a whole lot of clearance, but it's much better than before. Nice build, by the way :thumbup:.

Thanks for the PIC Ed, when I shuffle the motor around I was gonna pull the valve cover and do just that.. I hate to do it, but I need the space. Is your running? any torque issues?

Thanks again fellas,

JOE
