Another thing that may help is getting your alignment checked.If your caster or camber are too far out of wac itl throw everything off.

i ordered a set of motor mounts from energy suspension,,, identical to what I removed from the car,, replaced the oil pan with a stock replacement,,, identical to the beaten up oil pan that was on the car.... a source mentioned to me that maybe I havethe frame mounts for a 6 cylinder instead on a v8 ? Make any sense ???

I guess that after so many years and owners and mechanics tampering with it, who knows whats been done or modified with the car. Could be a number of things , especially if different year parts were put in ... spindels, front frame, etc ???

Sometimes its easiest to take a look at another car and try to figure it out.You said you replaced the mounts that bolt to the frame and they were the same as the ones you already had.Maybe the mounts on the block are wrong.What else is there.If your pictures were a little better quality I could compare yours to what mine is.You keep showing the pan on the frame but not the mounts in question.Unless there there someplace and I missed them.Rank was saying earlier you might have the wrong pan.Hard to tell but yours looks more squared off where its hitting and mine is rounded.May be deeper as well.I got my pan from summit.Nothing special besides the chrome.Stock oil capasity.

hi zombie,,, I compared your pics to mine your centerlink (draglink) seems longer and hangs lower ,,, which has me thinking that maybe I have the wrong front end parts. I didn't replace the frame mounts... I replaced the motor mounts (rubber portion bolted to block). Yes i said that the clearance between my oil pan and crossmember was close, but then again I found the frame mounts completly loose. If you compare the draglink from yours to mine ,,, you see a big difference. What do you think ?
