You did not say which body this is going into, mine is an'84 760, x diesel.
We dinged the rt.rail as well, but found that "block hugger" headers, tucking in and down sides of the the oilpan, made this a non-issue.
Also dinged the top center of fire wall to place SBF further back.No steering issues,suggest the late small starter.We did run single 3" exhaust, with twin subtle volvo orig. style curved pipes out rear rt. corner. This was a AOD trans, one piece shaft, used orig shifter.

This old sleeper was built in 1992, has 50K miles, no vibration or other issues. Fun car, w/ 3.73 gears and a mid-range cam that pulls from 1200 to 4500 rpm. I have put 50K miles on this one and it is the ultimate sleeper.you will love the end result. K.O. in Sunny Florida
