I am looking for an engine/trans for the car pictured in my Avatar. It is set up right now for a 351/C4 but I will convert it to a 302/347/351 with a Tremec.
Question is - Has anyone ever used the 87-93 bellhousing/trans without using the driveshaft spacer? This would require the engine and trans to be relocated rearward to the 87-93 location.
It seems that I could benefit from improved weight distribution and get more room for the electric fan, etc. Problem is I would have to fabricate a bracket to move the engine aft and the headers may hit the steering shaft.
I think I am ok on crossmember and steering gear clearance because the car has an Anthony Jones C/M and a Flaming River Rack.
Thoughts???
By the way - Did I mention that I have the 87-93 bellhousing and trans? This would be cheaper for me (I think... Never turns out that way...).
