Need to Level Things Out (To Install TTI Exhaust System)?
During re-installation of the exhaust system, we find the the Torqueflite 904 front servo port plug is all but touching the TTI 2 1/2" passenger side head pipe (photo #6) used on our '65 Formula S with factory stock exhaust manifolds. The clearance with the same side torsion bar is almost as tight (photo #7). Measuring engine height (crankshaft centerline to crossmember) and engine offset to the passenger side seems to look about correct as compared to the TTI chart (photo #1). The head for bolt for the oil filter adaptor has been machined down per instructions footnote as well (photos #4 & #5).
I did find the motor is not level, about a 1/4" too low on the passenger side (photos #2 & #3). Going to fabricate some shims and hope for the best after raising that side a bit.
