Just got an email that my kit will be delivered tomorrow! I’m no where near ready to install the kit or the engine but pretty excited anyway. I need to decide on and locate a transmission so I can determine which motor mounts to order and which transmission mount I will need. Lots of work to do on the car too, but with temps in the teens I can’t get excited about getting out in the garage.
I've also ordered this kit but I'll be using it in a 70 Chevelle with an 06 gto engine, My engine is in the car already for mock up, I don't know how similar our cars are but I will install the kit to see how the accesories clear near the steering box.

What motor mounts are you using and what transmission are you using?

Good to know. I don’t know if the trans tunnel in a 70 is larger than a 67 or not. Do you think you will have to cut your tunnel? I don’t think you will have any steering box clearance issues at all based on what I have read and seen on you tube.

I had to cut the tunnel for the t56 and the bigger gto alternator would have hit the steering box, I would have been ok with the smaller f body alternator, I was planning on replacing all the accessories, and I like how simple the holley mid mount kit looks.

I'm setting mine up now in a 66 with a T56 and Holley's forward mounts. Looks like I am going to have to at least modify the floor brace if not raise it an inch. This is to get to 4* installed angle.

I installed a 2001 5.3 and 4L65E in a 66 Beaumont. Used the stock truck front drive system complete with fan and power steering. Swap to a smaller power steering pulley from a late 80's S10 to clear the power steering box. Swap the big "nut" on the back of the pump to one from an older ps pump that used SAE pressure hose thread. Then you can use your existing ps hose. May not be beautiful but works perfect and cheap.
