Shimming the crossmember lowered the engine in the chassis
in relation to the body.
Plus, a Mustang oil pan is on the engine, and the motor sits really nice now.
I think the way it currently sits, it might even clear a stock GT or standard Mustang hood!
There is no trans in the car yet, and the Eibach springs are installed.

Front shot:
Driver side of engine bay.
Plenty of room, and the steering is just fine now.
Trimmed the widest part of 2000 Cobra exhaust manifolds for clearance.
Also, figured a way for the hydroboost to clear the cam cover. (devious!)
