Just asking, why are you trying to center the motor? And are you using a stock K member?
Have a great day Iowan

yes Andy, i'm good at proving after market go fast parts don't just bolt right on without issues. The milodon pump is the billet pump I bought from you a few months ago. I can slide the engine forward for some oil filter cleance, but not sure how far before the fan would be into the radiator. Does the motor plate have to set down onto the frame fails or can it be mounted up with it elevated above the rails? You have to be careful how high you go up. The headers start hitting everything. Seems to me it would have been easier to find a spool mount K member and buy the kit to make it into the conversion K member or whatever they called it. Seems there is (or was) a kit that DC sold. That was a long time ago though.
Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston

I have my front plate above the frame rail and the oil pan in stock location 1" above the k member and 1.5" to the pass side in stock location for a b body,yours may be 1" offset.Moving the engine forward,rear is limited by the trans mount a lot,maybe 3/4" total so the more you keep it stock the better to prevent problems with other things.The front frame mount for the plate is about the last thing to put in welding it unless you measured prior.Keep in mind that if your header tube goes around the torsion bar will limit the engine location also unless you want to move that tube a little to adjust it. ps: Having the trans mount connected but loose will help you find where to put the engine.I used a floor jack under the oil pan to hold the engine up with a board between it and the pan and move the engine like that.

If I recall, is the motor mount a big part of the steering mount? If not, cut that sucker off and reinforce the steering mount anyway. Even if the motor mount takes up a lot of the steering mount walls, it can be cut away and with a little finagle here and there, be welded shut for a clean,strong steering mount with some room to get the engine in. My engine is all the way back and has about a half inch away from the steering/motor mount or what was the motor mount. I cut it clean away and shaved it down to a smooth surface. Looks factory.

Sometimes you just need to get creative when you fit things where they didn't fit before.
