I've even put the trans. mount on and tightened down the motor mounts and moved the steering left to right and it doesn't hit anything.
Then your SR is too high! :mrgreen:

Kidding. If the center link doesn't contact the angled bottom of the SR just ahead of the transmission, then you don't have anything to worry about.

Alright, just making sure it wasn't going to start banging around once I drive it around lol. I have the mckinney motorsports motor mounts so maybe it makes it sit up a little higher or something. I know when I put the motor in with the transmission on the center link does get in the way and it's kind of a p.i.t.a. but once you get it lined up right and the trans mount on it doesn't hit it.

Even at full lock? They are usually REALLY close, but even if it hits a bit who cares. The only time your car goes to full lock is parking anyways.

I'll check it again when I put the motor and tranny in here in the next few days.
