Well I did read on the forums and knew that the floor had to be moded on the passenger side to make it fit correct. That was no issue I did it. I didn't see it mensioned anywhere that the mount that is supplied with the kit actually drops the the tail shaft of the tranny below stock height which tips the engine back. The only way I would have know is to fully assemble the car shaker and all. I did have the tranny mounted in the car when doing the floor work, but how was I to know that the crossmember supplied drops the tranny.

I am not trying to blame anyone, just thinking of solutions. My first choice it going to be to raise the tunnel, but I have to see if I can hide it under the consel or not. Just exploring options is all.

By the way it did not come from Keisler

If you had searched any of the Mopar Forums for TKO500/600 installs, I've clearly stated for perhaps the last 10 years on various sites that, that ANY TKO 500/600 install needs to have the drivelinr angle re-established, and a factory 4spd hump used, A,B,or E body....

I'll measure my 71 E body 4spd factory equipped car tonight for you to determine a "starting" point for you to re-establish a proper driveline angle,...bite the bullet and correct this issue now...

Allmost all of the kits offered on the market today are based on the initial Keisler design of over a decade ago, while Keisler has continiously improved their design over the years, others have not, only a select few have improved apon their initial offering

I have read the post and know about the drive line angle issues. I guess never thought about or heard it mensioned how much it droped the tail shaft and tipped the motor back which messes with the shaker.

I do have a 4 speed hump and did modify the passenger side of it to fit the tranny. To go up anymore I think the entire hump with have to be rasied up. I have no problem doing it just really hate to start screwing up paint at this point.

I appreciate the measurement. I want to know how far it is actually off so I can see how extensive the mods will have to be. Might be such a thing as I have to gain a little on the tranny and a little on the air cleaner.
