Center link rubbing oil pan
I am new to the forum and just got my 1970 Cuda out of the paint shop. I now have it on the rack, hoping to get everything in good condition. I did not do a frame off resto like I did my 1960 vette. My wife and I wouldn't make it.
The car came out with a 383 4-speed and someone changed it to a 440. The center link on the steering is rubbing the oil pan.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Junior the motor is probably not at the factory mounting specs. I wish I knew what they were for a Cuda with a RB. Hopefully someone will be able to add in with some.

JuniorT, Welcome to the forum! :welcome2:
Here's are the measurements for the K-frame/motor:
67-76 "A"-body / 66-74 "B"-body / 70-74 "E"-body applications: From the center of the crankshaft to the top of the K-frame, the correct distance is 5-1/4”. The engine is also offset towards the passenger-side. Measure from the center of the crankshaft to each frame rail. The difference should be 2-1/2”.
Also check for worn out motor and tranny mounts. There is room for some adjustments in the motor mounts
