I just set my motor in a 1.5" crossmember notch. It's a 454 w/HEI and I had to move it foward about .5" for the HEI and up 1" to clear the crossmember. I also had chevelle headers to contend with. Because of those I cut my firewall to allow for the passenger side to fit (needed about .25"). I might have been able to fit them, but I didn't like them that close. It won't be noticable when I'm done. I've got pics but they are too big even to email. I'll have to figure out that when I get home and post them. Good Luck.
