72 Dart 440 4-speed build
I got the engine in for what I'm hoping is the last time. I ended up having to elongate out the holes in the transmission mount to try and get the engine as far forward as possible to keep the oil pump out of the crossmember mount. There is only about an .125" of metal left on the side of the mounting hole in the crossmember mount and it is still extremely close. The Schumacher headers for the most part slip right in. Both need modified as the passenger side hits the torsion bar and the drivers side interferes with the z-rod. The only other issue is the factory RB dipstick runs right into the steering box. I'll have to go with an aftermarket flexible option on that.
