Hey guys,
I am looking for anyone who has used the butch's cool stuff motor mount kit for swapping SB Chrys V8 into 42-53 Ply (48 in my case). I found out yesterday that, according to the installation instructions included with the kit, the 6" dimension on the drivers side does not clear the original steering box mounting to the frame by 1 1/4". My first thought is to move the motor mounts back the 1 1/4" to clear the box but I'm a bit concerned the often limited firewall clearance will pose another problem.
So before going any farther I thought I'd seek out the wise and experienced and see if anyone has tried this swap.
And to alleviate any anxiety and wasting of time, the original flathead was long gone when I bought it and it had a chevy I6 in it. I'm putting a 67 273 in it.
Thanks for any help.
