Finally, I am ready to reinstall the plenum on this blasted SuperRam. I found that the WW motor cover was broken and replaced it, but now the plenum is hitting it, preventing the install. ad
I had more clearance before and RichR reported having 1/4" or so, on his install.
I need an idea on how to move this engine slightly and am not sure that rotating it on the engine mounts is all of the answer, if that is even possible. In any event, this seems like it will be a wrestling match requiring ingenuity and all of my strength.
I spoke with my local expert, who said that the tranny-mount controls the forward/aft position of the entire driveline and may allow slight adjustment. He also suggested to bool some chiropractor time. It only needs another 1/4" (story of my life). I may try to move the wiper motor slightly and then trim some aluminum from the corner of the plenum. The damn thing was tight, but fit before!
Thanks, Mike
