Hope you can help. I'm installing a 383 engine in a 65 Belvedere II, I bought an conversion kit from Schumachers. The problem I'm having is that the engine looks to be setting crooked in the car and it looks like it should be setting back about 1"-2". The shifter hits the hump when you shift into first gear and the shifter hangs to the left side of the car in the hump. When I center the transmission in the tunnel the shifter still hangs to the left. I had to add a 2" piece to the original tranny mount to get it to set in the proper place on the tranny. I'm new to the Mopar scene and I hope someone did this conversion and offer me some insight. Thanks
