big red , those are the replacement plates that i bought that are at the stock location , the mounts they sent with the kit that i had to return were a full 3 inches forward of the current location , with the engine sitting as is my drive shaft and yoke are perfect , if i would have used what cpp calls the stock location plates , my fan would have been in the radiator and the yoke would have been about a 1/2 inch in the trany . Here is a pic of my pasengers side , got my pacesetter headers today , had to cut about 6 inches of tube and alittle frame , i knew the frame had to be cut , i will buy a weld up header kit and modify , weld some tube in . Drivers side looks like it will be slightly easier , maybe just cut the cpp frame stand and reweld , this should not be this hard with a kitn they say is designed for the application , no more cpp for me
If i ever did this again , i would use stock v8 mounts , and go from there
