I can't figure out how you got your motor so low. Is the m88 shorter than the s38?

Goerge mine sets that low really close to the sub frame

Sorry for all the questions! I have a m30b35 in my car. It's about 1/4" of the subframe, yet it seems a lot higher then your m88. I just don't get it!

You have to sit the motor mount brackest at the right angle
no it is the same block.

You have to look at the angle you have the motor at....
my motor sits about that much but I have the correct angle on the motor. Also what mounts are you using and next it also depends somewhat on the style intake mnifold you use also...some are higher than others....but mainly check your motor angle and the mounts.

Update 5/01/08 Body work time getting ready for summer!!!

Well I have started the bodywork part before I drop the motor and trans in.
I was going for a replica but got hosed on the Decals, so I am going with LeMans blue.

Engine bay is painted......




Engine bay all done....before clear coat...



After clear coat...



I know it is not a professional job but it looks awesome in person. Well I will finish sanding down the body and priming it today.
