So... the engine is in (I’m using the NaroEscape -6 front mount) and, seeming because of the mount, it sits lower than stock. The Patrick Motorsport -6 shift linkage rod I intended on using, wont work. It interferes with the engine case and doesn’t seem to have a workaround. If the engine were 1/4” - 1/2” higher at the firewall, it looks like it would slip in, but alas, the engine is not going anywhere, lol.
I’m tempted to just bend the PMS bar end upward (maybe a couple inches from where it goes from the narrow shank to the bar rod) to give it the clearance but that would change the angle it goes into the rear bushing and connects to the shift lever... so I figured I’d ask if anyone else had an issue with the bar hitting the engine case and any options I might have. I’m OK with modding the old -4 rod too. Might be worth a shot but figured I’d ask here first. The other threads I found look like the stock rod modded is the move. Thanks Rich  |

The answer is "no" unless you ask... Group: Members Posts: 1,207 Joined: 21-November 15 From: White Plains New York Member No.: 19,387 Region Association: North East States

Maybe you could weld to the front of the U shaped bracket, a piece and drill holes to mount to the front of the engine. This would put the engine / trans assembly back a little further in addition to raising the engine in the engine bay... 2 pieces of channel may work for that with a little work to make it look okay...

This is actually a good idea. Instead of cutting the original u-shaped mounting plate off, just cut a new plate, weld it to the existing plate, drill new holes in it and thru the old plate for the correct height position and space it off the engine a bit more to make the fore/aft adjustment needed to push it rearward. This seems much less daunting than re-engineering the bar or the whole cradle portion or re-welding the ears up higher creating more problems. |
