Got the VH dropped in this weekend and starting off had a few hitches. The sway bar had to be dropped to clear the ps pump. Once I did that the transmission lined up perfectly and the stock trans xmember bolted right up. The oil pan worked like planned and lines up just like the VG did. I couldn't get it any better if I wanted to. There is about 1/4" of clearance on each side between the frame rails and the alternator on pass side and oil filter on drivers side. No mods to the steering of brake booster will be needed.

So for now I need to drop the sway bar a couple inches and make up some mounts. I am going to use the Q mounts and will need a few pieces of steel to make up the rest. As of now it's going great though. The exhaust is going to be a ***** but after that I see a killer car coming together.

It sits pretty low when I get it all the way down but still will probably have to cut a hole to clear the intake. I will have to trim down the coolant outlet and get rid of the cap on it. I think I will just cut it down to where it's a round pipe and slap a hose on it.



Thanks for all the help everyone!
