I've got the 90 5.0L and AOD trans installed. I used the gt motor mounts and stock trans cross member. Have had one heck of a time getting the oil pan to clear the front cross member/ttb. Finally have done so but have a concern.
I have 1/2" spacers between both motor mounts and cross member. On the driver's side I have an additional 5/8" spacer (washers) between the motor mount and engine. I have an additional 1" spacer (washers) between the motor mount and engine on the passenger side (leveled the engine side to side)
All these spacers have the front of the engine sitting higher than the back of the engine (far from level). To try and correct this I added some spacers at the transmission end. This helped but also altered driveshaft angle.
Will this adjusted driveshaft angle be ok? Would it be better to have the engine sitting at an angle instead? Any other guidance?
Any help/feedback is appreciated. Now, on to the wiring.
