Aha! Thank you.

Okay, to move the engine forward, I'll need to disconnect a bunch more stuff (throttle cable, fuel line, headers, etc) and move the engine forward about 2 inches. Do I unbolt the engine mounts at the engine, or at the chassis? I don't have an engine lift, so do you just put a block of wood under the pan, use a floor jack, lift the engine slightly, and ease it forward? (I have a Canton racing kickout pan).

If I leave the headers on I can only get the engine forward about an inch. By doing so, will this let the aft end of the trans pivot down farther? Otherwise it still won't give me enough room to pull the trans straight back.

Sorry to be a pain but I really do appreciate your advice.

Thanks,
