i found a picture in another member's Ride(plee3) thread where he measured the distance from the radiator core support to where each bracket was and will be.

It is a lot more exact because you would have been off by a quarter of an inch if you didn't ask again.

as long as the battery is discoed youll be fine just watch fuel lines since they are proximity

I hope that your swap is working out in your favor!I havent been on the site for a while The information below is correct. if you have more questions, feel free to hit me up!


The A/T bracket sits 13 3/4in from the core support. The M/T bracket sits 12 1/4in away from the core support. So the M/T bracket is mounted closer to the core support. Thats why the manual trans will not line up until the modifacation is performed.
