Doesn't fit too bad....I basically followed the profile of the pipe when moving forward.... the farther forward the higher it had to go. Could also hammer the firewall back a little to clearance if you wanted, I figured I would have to but seem to have gotten away with it so far.

If I were doing this swap... I would want the rubber cab mount to be centered on the body mount. I think if you leave the mount as is your gonna start having other problems!

Maybe you need to fab up another set of mounts, moving the mounts further back, or you could clearance the firewall for the down pipe which will allow you to move the body foward and center the body mount over the rubber mount!

just my 2 cents!
