mine dropped in no problem, manual steering, 340 on spool mount with auto. Did you already follow the tti instructions for centering the engine and moving the shift linkage?

You can slide the column to the outside if you loosen the bolts in the firewall. Loosen the 3 bolt plate. If you open up the holes it will go even further.
The steering box can be moved as well using the same process.
