Well, I'm trying to save some work. My A518 is already longer than the 904 or 727. Moving it forward will allow me to reuse the trans mount location. I'm already replacing the oil pan, so using a rear sump pan from a truck will create some clearance with the k member and should allow me to reuse the stock center link. I'm already replacing the exhaust manifolds, so I'll be fitting some rear dump manifolds to alleviate the clearance with the power steering. Maybe I'm looking at it all wrong, but at the moment it makes sense. I'm a ways off from actually implementing my plan. This is my research, asking all of you experts here on FABO.
