Just picked up a 70 Gran Coupe that has had a 68 440 swapped into it. The car original had a 318. The steering column rubs the exhaust manifold on the LH side at the manifold flange. Column rubs where the shaft goes into the steering box. Looking at my small block E's and my RR it appears that I may need to get some correct motor mounts. The engine on this Gran coupe also doesn't sit in the compartment straight plus appears to sit too low.
Am I on the right track? I notice Schumacher makes a set of these mounts. It just appears to me it's not a exhaust manifold issue, just that the motor isn't setting in there correctly.
I'll get a picture of it.
Thanks !!
