Sounds to me like the alignment is a mile off... Drop the nose of the motor.

Motor mounts are still in the original place. I had the stock pan on there before. The mounts look like they are as high as they go. Can I add a spacer?

They are the stock 3 points. If I switch to 4 points will it fix the issue?

Where about does it contact the intake? Can the mounts be lowered?

Post by: Steveo909 on July 29, 2017, 10:35:36 PM: It contacts the 2 forward nuts of the intake about 2 inches in from the rear of oil pan

How hard?

Is the rubber insulator on the rear mount in good condition?

Can you cut/grind off the bolts and smooth them up?

You need to raise the front motor mounts a little, the bolt going through the mount, is that slotted?

Post by: Chad krieger on July 31, 2017, 07:25:51 AM: Because the back of your motor is the stock bellhousing and u are using the original front mounts the 10 quart pan won't work u need to go 4 point mount system or rail kit.
