Custom adapter plate is installed. Now that the transmission and engine are mated and in the car we can see that we need to move everything 6 inches to the back. I'm still saving money by not getting a T56 but we still need to fabricate a new transmission mount, driveshaft and shifter linkage. Once that's done we'll move on to the engine mounts.
The oil pan is too low and would need some "trimming". The oil filter bracket also sits as low as the oil pan. With some welding and some fittings we can do a relocation kit and probably an oil accumulator just incase the shallow oil pan causes any starvation but that's for later.
Pictures of the engine are without the transmission mated to it. We were just eyeballing how would it sit in the engine bay and I think were all clear in every direction except the front where we might need to make some space for the crank pulley and most likely a "budge" in the hood for the intake manifold.
