Early A TTI and oil pan issues

I did mine this weekend too except I have a tremec 5-speed that gave me tons of trouble in getting the motor to sit in the stock position. I finally got it in today. The center link and tie rod still hit on the passenger side. I had to shim the motor and the transmission to clear the headers. My install was different since I lifted the engine over the body with the headers and everything attached. I got a few scratches on mine and decided the best way was to remove the passenger side header and oil filter adapter. Hope it doesn't hurt them too bad. Wonder if it can be coated again. Good luck getting the rest of it together. They are beautiful to look at huh
