I have just finally put the engine back in my 55 sedan. I have previously replaced the front crossmember with a unit from Goodell Fabrications. In lining the the engine up the front engine stay is resting on the mounting plate on the crossmember and is not allowing the engine to sit low enough. When fitting the radiator the bottom of the radiator hits the engine stay. I am considering taking the engine stay off the front of the engine which would be problem solved, though I'm always worried about the instability of the yblock engine mounts. I can probably grind the edges (lip) of the crossmember bracket which would allow the engine to drop down about a 1/4".
Has anyone else run into this problem?
