Hey Guys,
I have a 1980 Monza 4cyl car that I am trying to drop a boosted 5.3 LM7 into, and I'm running across the seemingly common issue of the motor mounts. I purchased the powerbyace.com mount kit and while the driver side seems to bolt up well, the passenger side does not seem to make much sense and is actually hitting the body where the right side threaded hole is on the adapter plate. The installation instructions were somewhat vague so hopefully someone here can help me figure this out. Do I need to clearance the engine compartment to fit the mount, alter the mount, or am I missing pieces? I have also purchased the oil pan and pickup tube to make the engine clear, and it will be backed by a th400. Any advice or guidance is greatly appreciated. I would post pics but for some reason I can't.
