I replaced my 350 and 3 speed in my 1972 with a 350 and a Toyota 4 speed. Has the Downey front saddle mount to the stock 1972 F motor frame mounts, and new AA trans cross member. All set and level etc, but when all bolted up, there is a 1/2 inch or so gap at one corner. Passenger front or driver rear, depending on how you tighten down. Is this a cause for concern? I have heard these frames have a lot of flex, wondering if setting for a few months without a drive train in it allowed for the frame to tweak a little? So to pose a question, bolt it all down, it will flex and right itself? Or, a half inch spacer at one corner to offset whatever is causing this?
I realize I could have a twist in the frame, but I can’t seem to see it so far.
Thanks in advance!!
