Motor and trans are in...always a struggle for me.
Does anyone who has the 5 speed Rivergate kit have a problem with the adapter plate hitting the side of the engine where near where the starter is? I have a clearance of about a business card, and will probably shove in a piece of rubber to prevent vibrations.

Anyone else? Tomorrow I work on the rear transmission mount. Anyone have pictures of that either mounted in car of out of car?......thanks
 
I've had two engines in and out with my kit, with no problems. A friend has had his in and out a couple times with no problems. The last motor install my headers were slightly against the frame, a couple washers under one of the motor mounts gave me the clearance I needed. Bet you'll figure this one out.
