Now I know why I haven't tried a B-block A-body in nearly 30 years... but this IS fun, isn't it?
I thought that one of the advantages of using a motor plate is to eliminate the K member/engine attachment issue? The factory k member& engine mounts, as well as the trans mount are responsible for the fore/aft location of the engine and trans. When you deviate from stock, these kinds of fitment issues are sure to happen. I've found that a majority of car applications require a mid sump oil pan when using the stock k member.
