Dougs

Crackedback, not sure if the brackets I have are B/E style? I'll attach a picture and maybe you can tell me? I'll also attach a picture of the engine, top view, the clearance on the pass side seems to be around 3", I can double check on Friday when head back to work on the car.

What I do know is back when I was fitting the engine/tranny I was too far to the rear on the X-member. When I switched the brackets around is when everything finally lined up. Let me add that before beating the header I tried loosening up the mounts and shifting the motor around to see if there was any give there.. and nothing. I also tried shimming the engine, but no matter what I tried, tube #1 still touched on the PS. There's another member on here who I spoke with who also fit the Dougs on his A body and he said he had the same fitment issues around the PS. No where else that I can tell do I see any clearance issues.

Other than the cosmetic ouch. What performance will I sacrifice from the carnage?

Thanks and wish I had heard from you earlier on.
