So I got an 89 shell for free in rough condition. Bought a dohc motor set, replaced the headgasket, etc etc..
So anyways in my final stretch to finish my car I've got the motor in and on the mounts..
I noticed that the transmission mount doesn't line up..like the transmission is sitting 1-1.5" too far forward or something..
So could I have some how, some way put the motor mounts on the wrong sides...or done anything to make the whole motor/transmission sit too far forward?
Here's the crossmember and mount:Here's where the shifter sits with a floor jack holding it as high as it goes:
^You can see that it sits kinda forward
Also one of the 4 bolts that holds the transmission on is broken I guess...like the stud is stuck in the car and nothing is poking out...and drilling it out isn't working because it's too tough..any ideas on that?
