From top of frame rail to crank Centerline is 3 5/8. I cut the rear k member cross bar out to give the oil pan a little extra room. The bottom of the oil pan is in line with the front cross bar. Is this to low and to far back. I'm trying to go as far back and down as I can without running into issues.

Best I can offer is that I have the Detroit Speed engine mounts and they lower the engine 1/2" from stock but they don't push it back. I assume that's so it doesn't affect the rest of the driveline. Not to mention I don't think I could go back much due to the Whipple.

Thank you I appreciate it. Did you offset your motor to one side or did you put it in the middle. It's definitely been a pain not having the factory motor mounts to measure from but I know a lot of cars have the engine offset to the passenger side and I've looked all over the Internet and can't find nothing..

Centered. There is no room in the tunnel for any other way

Thank you I really appreciate it you definitely have been a big help and I appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions. Bob will be back tomorrow so hopefully I will have the motor plate balancer and the pulley and bracket for the fuel pump soon. I went ahead and ordered the motion raceworks steering column, their new icon throttle body, and their door car brake line kit. Finding/Getting parts has been crazy to think I started this in January but its starting to come together.
