lsx mustang exhaust help... Im in the works on my swap and ran into a lil problem...I have a aje k member and mounts and the the motor is in place...went to install my Kooks headers passenger side went on with ease but driver side collecter is hitting floor board...
Can this be that there is no trans in the car to add a lil tilt to the back of motor,or that the car is on jack stands and the front of car is flexed in a hunch position...has this happin to any one here...thanks for any help

Mine went on while on jackstands but I had the t56 in. My issue with the Kooks was they didnt clear the stock steering shaft by a long shot. They barely cleared with a max motorsports shaft. Id get the trans in and see what happens although its not gonna change the angle much.

you got 3 holes on each side to line up right ??? You need to open up the holes also so theres a little slop..Can you tighten the bell housing bolts from the top ?....you might need to move the top knuckle on the steering shaft towards the firewall as much as you can..........i had to and then i needed to order a longer steering shaft....What trans ???? Do you have the AJE trans crossmember yet ??

I'm doing similar swap..my driver header was also hitting the floor..I adjusted the motor directly in the middle of the holes on the mounts to the crossmember..it gave it just enough clearance..but when you bolt the trans up,it will also bring the rear down a little bit..I also have a problem with the driver header being directly in front of the tranny crossmember mounts on the frame..I'm gonna have to cut the collector back about 2"

first thing is check the motor mounts make sure they are in the correct position.
but when i put the motor in my mustang the engine didnt move much with the trans installed . the AJE bushings are very rigid

Mounts are just like yours....I'm hoping the trans will fix problem if I give the motor a lil push I can see the passenger side collecter drop a lil from the floor board and pass..side is already bolted up..
