Neah, no problems everything fits in nice, mine was an oringinal V8. Im using a turbo 400 full manual, 4000 rpm convertor, nine inch diff, big custom grind cam, custom ported heads, microtech ECU making 300RWKW. I had 1"3/4-4 into 1 extracors made to go around the power steering. Most conversions Iv'e seen don't use power steering any more. I custom made my own engine mounts as the ones you buy dont sit the engine in the center of the bay. I had to relocate the starter motor to the left side.
