Engine has factory offset and location. BTW good pic of modified inner fender area. That mod make even the tall Keith Black aluminum covers clear. I was able to remove these in the car using bolts in the valve covers. Not studs.

I ask because I want to use the same mounts/k-member/headers in my 65 Coronet and I was dreading having to cut the shock tower up since it is finished as far as paint is concerned. -Jason

It is easier to accomplish by removing the Passenger Side upper shock retaining nut, which is no big deal. I live in Centerville, OH, just up I-75. If you want to come by and check it out, just let me know.

I'll try to attach a picture. I raised the motor buy placing a quarter inch thick spacer between the solid motor mounts which bolt to the block, & the rubber mounts. Prior to raising the motor - the cover sat on the tower, - was odd, seemed as if everything hit home at once. 6921964-DSCN0351.JPG (315 downloads)
