with a motor plate center link is not an issue , using the 6 center link will hit the link hard if using mounts and a 440 . with the v-8 link you only have 1/4 inch clearance max. the 8 link drops over an inch so how in the heck will this fit with mounts? a plate, yes ,as the plate allows the engine to sit higher in the frame and still clears bellhousing hump, and the slant 6 link, your ride felt so heavy cause the link was hitting pan heavily grump, heh,let the guys know if the slant 6 link hits as im quite sure it will. maybe im not doing something right......regards

Ok So here is the deal.
One the center link of the /6 the ball joints from the idler arm and the piman arm go UP with the center link sitting on top.

On the V8 Center link the ball joints on the idler arm and the pitman arm go DOWN. and the center link sits below them.

The idler arm and pitman arms ar completely different when you compare the ones for the v8 to the /6

The Tie rods are different too. on the slant 6 they are 90 degrees, where as the V8 they ar horizontal.

I HAVE HAD THE ENGINE in allready a hole bunch of times. and the stearing Nuckle only hits the pan when you turn it all the way to the right.


I don't have $$$ to buy all new things. What do I HAVE allready, that will work???
I can send pics of what I am talking about above. just ask.

I don't want to put the engine in and have problems.....

DOES ANYONE HAVE A PROPER OIL PAN FOR THIS!?!?!?!

thanks guys
