Well, my problem is the motor sits about 1/16th of an inch too far forward to fit into the very front slots. Dunno if it's cause motor is jacked up or what, but it's not going to fit as-is. I should be able to move it back a full inch without shortening the DS according to Griggs.

Don't forget the exhaust, tranny mount and if its a stick the shifter handle may need clearancing as well....
