Hey, which steering center link gives the most clearance to a sbc oil pan on a Vega ?
I have stock p/s in a '73 Vega hatchback and Don Hardy side engine mounts... and stock 4-speed Saginaw. Looking to drop in a sbc with stock oil pan.
Some people have added washers to engine mounts to bring the engine up about 1/4 inch.
I'm thinking of also adding 1/8 of washers to bottom of transmission mount -- to help compensate/offset difference.
The v8 Monza diagram shows that the oil pan modification gets rid of only 1" of oil pan. Don hardy and a few others
allow heating the pitman & idler arm 3/4 inch........ so only approx. 3/4 inch removal seems to be needed.
Which steering center link gives the most clearance to a stock/aftermarket sbc oil pan on a Vega?
Thanks
