    Im putting a dauntless v6 into a 1958 jeep that had a 134 F-head so i bought a D18 and a T-14.okay heres the problem. Im using a T-14 that is bolted to a D18 twin stick. I bolted the two together and mounted on to the crossmember. it sits to the drivers side too far. i think the mount may be backwards. Also thae whole thing sits back too far. i cant move it up and drill new holes because the pedal linkage is in the way.

    What are you using for motor mounts? I used the ones from advanced adapters that determined the placement of the motor side to side then I bolted up the tranny transfer case and driveshaft to determine the position front to back. Then I welded in the motor mounts. HTH
