Looking at doing this swap and everything I read says that the A/C evaporator unit will interfere with the right side of the SBF. I am trying to reason this out, since I had an 84 B2 years ago. It uses the Cologne 2.8V6, which is an offset engine, ie: crankshaft is offset to the drivers side, thereby meaning that the right side of engine has more on that side (referencing crankshaft) than other side. The SBF is a symmetrical engine therefore, some of the right side of it will be moved back toward the center of the drivetrain. :dunno:
Has anyone had experience with this interference issue, and if so what are the details and fixes?:icon_confused:

I already have a rear sump (I believe) oil pan from an Explorer. I need to get the SBF C4 bell housing, and mount to the existing C5 auto. (I was going to get an aftermarket torque converter):icon_bounceblue:
 
The SBF is also wider than the Cologne.

Ask in the V8 forum, those guys will know.
