Tried to install the Roush 427SR tonight. There isn't enough clearance between the firewall and the alternator and water pump pulleys. We pulled out the engine and swapped the chassis mounts. No joy - ended up 1/2 inch closer to firewall than the former position.
Thoughts?
I was told to be careful of the chassis mounts and they might be reversed from the factory. We've checked that.
The motor mounts provided by SPF are symmetrical. The motor mount inserts that Olthoff recommended are symmetrical. The motor mounts actually WORK perfectly, but the engine seems too far forward.
When I draw a mental line across the plane where the firewall panel screws in behind the seats, it doesn't clear the pulleys.
