5 spd. conversion thread
Wracks-
This post has helped me tremendously!
I'm square in the middle of fitting my 5.7 hemi and Keisler TKO 600 into my duster - and I'm 1" off from the engine mounts to the tranny crossmember. I couldn't get the TTI engine mounts to drop in place with them mounted on the block, so I took them off the block and got the tranny in. I called both Keisler and TTI this morning to get direction, and got 2 different suggestions. BTW- for anyone who is wondering - the 5.7 hemi TTI mounts were made with a 727 attached to the motor - to ensure factory placement.
Having the tranny bolted up and the engine loose of the mounts should give me an accurate measurement of how much I need to take out of the crossmember. Did you mearsure your tranny output angle before cutting? What is an appropriate tranny output angle to try and achieve? I guess I'm wondering if I need to cut to raise the tail of the tranny while I'm cutting a piece out of the front.
