[RICK LAKE]

Kramer it's not needed. Is the motor level in the car??? You may have to put a tilt in it, I did of about 1-3 degrees. This is why the frame mounts are slotted and it only take a floor jack and the loosing of the bolts to fix. 14 years of beatin on my car and 2 motor changes. If ERA cut the holes in the fenders, than they are ok. The other thing is to bend the pipes to get the clearance you want. The pipes are going to move from heat cycles over time.Mine to touch on the R/s when the car was new. Added bolts throught the motor mount to stop the motor from jumping out of the frame. There is a old thread on how to do this. Try a UNDY one or Patrick t. for pictures. Rick L. If you still have hitting of the body after centering, install a tork strap of link between the motor and frame of the car. Best place is the back of the block to the frame but hard to get too. Installing on the front of the motor is ok but the motor will twist and not just roll a little.
