chevy art wrote:hey bad bowtie. if denting the tranny tunnel and moving the rear of the tranny over towards the passenger side(this is the way you would have to move it to move the front of the engine to driver side( to get the engine closer to header). this would mean that your nice crossmember will not bolt up to your tranny mount, anymore. and would have meant that the motor was really in crooked(not running parallel to your pinion shaft in the rear axle.. really dont know if this could have been the case, but if it was, you maybe should get a center line for the car and before anymore fabricating or welding, you should get everything straight and parallel. i am only saying all this because you mentioned denting the firewall to straighten the drivetrain out. let us know whats happening . good luck art
