1969 Dart Street/Strip (Re)Build
Too bad. The rack just won't fit this pan.
Then I ran into another issue. The engine needed moved about 1/8 inch forward. The motor mounts wouldn't align at all.
So I tried moving the engine and it wouldn't budge, even with the trans bolts loose. Which by the way, one of the trans bolts was about to fall out! So I had a busted motor mount AND lose transmission bolts! Jeez this thing was about to fall apart! I had to resort to hoisting the engine to move it around easily.
Moving the engine forward created another problem. The water pump was now really into the fan shroud. So with little to no space, I had to grind out the shroud for clearance.
