William,
Thanks for the reply, It's always a little comforting to know that
someone on the list has experience in an upcoming job. If you don't mind
clarifying, your post raised a couple of other questions.
So here goes, is a Super Ride 11 the type of ifs you istalled? and if
so, did you have to set your mounts back a little for your oil pan to clear
your crossmember and did that put your distributor too close to your
firewall?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
