Just got the short block and trans put in today. Went in real nice and only have one spot on the top of the tail shaft that hits. I had to change my 727 from a short tail to a long tail and used the tail shaft outta a truck that is thicker/stronger(i guess) than a car tail shaft so I'll have to cut out a bit of that rib? section that goes over the top of the tail shaft. It sits lower than I was picturing in my head but the oil and trans pans sit at perfect height, shouldnt be hitting anything. The trans dipstick does hit the firewall but thats a easy fix with a new one. I used Trans-dapt motor mounts which are half the price as the others but identical. The mounting bolts are a little long if you ask me and one wouldnt fit due to the length but even if I buy new ones its still cheaper than the other kits hahaha.
