I think you're over complicating it. The engine and trans are already 1/2"
offset to allow for room for the steering column and gear box. Put it
together the way Pontiac intended!!!

Are conversion brackets necessary to get the engine position right when
you are using a 70' block (mine is a 72')? CI sells PN C269514, p. 722 in
their F2008 catalog. The description says the brackets are necessary for
proper engine positioning etc.
I've beat myself to death trying to align the tail of my transmission 1/2"
offset towards the P-side in order to line up with the differential's
offset. Basically, it's not possible without modifying the motor mounts,
i.e. rounding out the motor mount plate hole where the single bolt goes
through to the motor mount itself to allow for more adjustment. This can't
be right. Anyone run into this issue?
Thanks,
Sheen
