Hey Travis, I don't have any further information. I have been doing some research on trying to get the engine mounted lower though. Since my car is apart, I don't have any direct info to try but I've been asking around. So far I know this, if using the Gen3 hemi with this trans, Holley and now Hemi Denny have options to get this in a E/B body without cutting. Holley uses mounts to move the engine forward and down about 1" in each direction which gets you the necessary clearance. The Hemi Denny subframe gets you enough clearance as well, but I am not sure yet as to how exactly. Someone on Facebook used his setup and got it in the car without cutting.
As far as the LA motor, it has been mentioned that to get the engine lower, it might be possible to slot the motor mounts that attach to the engine or even remove the rubber from the mounts and use a solid mount (which ruins the "shaker" ability and gets vibration in the car) or even try to find rubber mounts that have less height. I think maybe a combination of the two might work well. I don't know how possible it would be to actually make a rubber mount that has less height? Also mentioned was to put spacers between the k frame and frame, but I don't want to interfere with the geometry of the suspension, steering, etc....
I still need to find out what component is the closest to the engine when lowering it. Is it the steering link under the pan, the actual K under the pan, the steering box, steering shaft, or??? This is my progress so far. If you haven't guessed, I am trying to put in an ebody but for an a body, I think cutting the car is a must. What are you looking to put one in?
