    Have you seen the crossmember spacers? They basically shim the crossmember lower which brings engine down with it, and allows a little extra room between top of motor and bonnet framing

    Bin the OTR and buy a Mace kit, it will work better and economy gains will have it paid for in a couple of years.

    Oh, I thought he had done an entire L67 conversion.
    Turns out not after re-reading it

    Even with an SC the Mace kit performs better. There is a member running Mace and SC and he said decent gains over what he had.
