clearance between oil pan and steering comma front pulley and sway bar



Thank you very much for letting me join! I have a problem on my current project. I just picked up a 72 Cutlass Supreme convertibe for a really stupid price. After sitting for 10 years I've discovered a lot of things including stupidly thick oil broken rockers on number 7 and really it's too much to get into the right now. The one thing that bothers me is the front lower pulley is almost hitting the sway bar and it looks like the steering gear is hitting the oil pan. Motor mount bushings?

Motor mounts are as tired as that fan belt!

X2. Mine was almost as close, I changed the MM and now there is plenty of clearance

My steering was touching my oil pan until I rebuilt it with new parts, now I have a decent gap
