I pulled the engine and transmission from an 88gt and put into my 67 that has a R&C front end as well as an 1999 8.8 mountaineer rear. The transmission is sitting at 4* down and my rear end 3* up. I had to notch the transmission tunnel brace and trim about 1/4" from the shifter opening.

Is it ok If the transmission is touching the brace?
The transmission looks to be a bit cocked to 1 side. Should the top of the shifter plate be level?
Should it be going down the center of the tunnel? It looks like it may be pointed toward the passenger side a litttle.

Is a 1* difference ok, or should I shim the rear up slightly?

Thanks

Im working on a '67. Looking at the transmission from the rear of the car looks like its point more toward the passenger side. Should I make the engine dead nuts level? When I put a level on across the top of he carburetor it shows maybe an 1/8" lower on the drivers side. But when I put a level across the top of the shifter housing its showing 3/8" lower on the drivers side.

So 3/8" drop over 4" or so, that cant be good.

If I remove the transmission mount it will lean further toward the passenger side. When I bolted up the I passed it over more toward the center. For some reason the top plate of the shifter is leaning toward the drivers side.

It seems like the transmission is crooked left to right and twisted toward the drivers side. How hard is it to take the transmission off and put it back on? I may need to take it off, get the engine as level and straight as possible then re-attach the transmission.

Thanks
