the problem these guys are having with the fitting isn't with the TCI product it is the car it's self .no one wants to believe that the car they have is slightly out of shape .50 some odd years and rough roads have taken there toll on them ,twisting ,sagging and even cocking the frame structures.i have seen a lot of twisted cars and most cars have some. i know TCI products are jig welded so the product is very consistant .most mustangs are going to need some amount of tweeking and thats just a fact every one has to deal withWe had already cut out the transmission tunnel and yesterday Steve brought the engine and trans.
There has been a lot of talk how the TCI products don't fit but we had no problem. The motor mounts that bolt to the block are slotted and we installed them the as far forward as we could to set the engine back. The mounts were tighten on the block and it was a tight fit with the shifter clearing the cutout in the firewall and the pan clearing the radiator support but we got it in. It went in on the first try. The tranny tunnel needs to be trimmed a little more but it does not hit. The bolts went into the motor mounts with no problems and we have pan clearance at the crossmember and rack.
I have a question. I am working on a similar project to this but I am installing a supercharged 4.6 DOHC. I also have the TCI IFS kit. I must also replace frame rails ,aprons ect. How do you get everything lined back up and in the right location?
