Putting my Rb motor in my 68 Cuda. It has a QuickTime bellhousing. As you can see in the picture the bracket for the z bar hits the body. Motor still needs to go back a little more. Anybody else run into this? I don't want to just smash it in with a hammer. Thinking about cutting an access hole and then have a bolt in cover. Thoughts??

It's in. I had to cut most of the bracket off. Also had to peen the floor pan. Everything fits fine now, even all the mechanical clutch linkage.
