I have a '73 Vega, I am dropping in a V8 with a transdap motor mount kit also have installed the Moroso Vega oil pan. I am having trouble with the steering and the cross member clearing the oil pan. The motor doesn't seem to sit back far enough to clear the cross member. As far as the motor mounts, even if I put two rubber pads on top of the motor mount to get the motor as high as possible the passenger side steering linkage hits the side of the pan.
I am also using the four speed trani. This has moved the trani back a few inches. I am looking for a cross member I could use to make this thing work, or determine if I need to modify the original as well as the shifter, relocate or buy an after market one? If anyone has run into these problems or has ideas repy. I can also be reached by phone, 661-201-1195. Thanks!
