Hooker 5204 Problem
I put the 360 in my 74 Dart Sport (cloned into a 70-71 Duster) last weekend using Schumacher mounts (it's a slant car). The engine seems to be sitting fine, so I don't think it's a mount problem.
They're 1 3/4.
I have the pass header in.
On the dr side, all the bolts are in, but the pitman and tie rod studs hit the the number 1 and 5 tubes, 5 being the worst. (The 5 tube is in the rear of the pics.) I could only get the bolts in because I positioned the pitman arm where it is in the pics. I can't turn the wheels left at all, turning right isn't pretty, and gets worse as I turn because the drag link hits because it is curved.
Looks like I'm pulling it out to whack the crap out of it.
I thought I'd post to vent a bit, and to see if anyone has run into this, and has some ideas.
