Here is one of the problems I ran into with the TCI system and the modular motor. There isn't even enough clearance for an SN95 master cylinder, so I had to go with a custom pedal assembly with a 90 degree booster.
The exhaust manifolds were another problem. I had to cut the flange and reweld it on the driver's side. The passenger side header will need to be completely reworked as two of the tubes hit the frame rail.
The next problem was the transmission and mount. I do not know why TCI insists on designing the engines to sit so high, but they do. Dave stribling mounts do not have this problem, even with a supercharger and t-56 trans, but then your only option is for a strut style front suspension. Apparently the rod and customs front end fits does not experience these problems either, but I have not used them, so I cannot comment myself.
The tunnel needs to be raised almost 2 inches and the firewall needs to be modified to allow the bellhousing to clear and so that it can be removed in the future for clutch changes and other maintenance.
Just slightly off here.
I had to change the oil pan and notch the crossmember for clearance.
