New Sm Block Milodon stock height, hi capacity, street, pro touring, road race pan!!!
Ok, problem solved. I dropped the K frame, notched the engine mount, and welded in a reinforcement just in case. The "fix" only took about 45 minutes once the K frame was on the ground, would have been faster but because of the hoist for the engine and jackstands for the car I couldn't roll the K out from under the car.#-o
So, first the notch. 1" x 1" x 2.5", I'm only doing this once. :mrgreen:
The engine mount would probably be just fine without it, but I cut a chunk of angle and fired up the MIG.
Cleaned it up a bit and I put the K back in and the engine back in the mounts. Plenty of clearance now...
You can see from the first picture directly underneath that it really was just contact between the bottom of the mount and the pan, not even interference. But even contact without any pressure won't work, so hence the fix. It's hard to tell from the pictures, but there's pretty much an inch of clearance all the way around.
