Got the motor mounts back in one day,,,, amazing what a couple of large pizzas will do!!!!

I also recessed the clutch master another 3/4". I basically split it in two and welded in a section of 3/4" steel. I also re-drilled the hole on the clevis moving it 3/4" closer to the master cylinder. The pin sort of fits but I really need a longer one now. This is as far as it can go for a couple of reasons,,, but should work OK now.

When trying to install the clutch master, with the added length it was hitting the OEM gas pedal. I had to pull it to get the clutch master in. I started looking at the differences between the FRS and CAMARO gas pedal. I think I can make a pedestal mount using the original FRS mount points to get the Camaro pedal positioned correctly. I cut the bottom off the Camaro pedal as well. It'll need to be spaced away and 2" to the right to get the pedal in the correct position.

The pictures of the motor are with the mounts installed and the trans pointing down about 1.7. I think I'll need to cut the top of the tunnel to make room for the shifter rod,,, shouldn't be too big of a deal. I hope.
