Called tech support . Guess I'll just grind or cut the motor mount. He said they have run ito this before as the tolerances of these things are all over the place.

I took a die grider to my mount to allow for the clearance.

Oh WOW! I know it's been two months since I started this thread. You guys were so RIGHT! This Steeroid mod is awesome. I dinked around alot and finally got it installed and took it into get aligned today. I eyeballed the tow in and was really close before I drove it to the shop. Have driven it about 40 miles on twisty mountain roads. The improvement over the original worn out steering box and barely assisted P/S is like night and day. No on-center play, etc. Had to grind the motor mount for clearence and have a P/S hydralic hose remade 1.5 inches shorter to stop rubbing on the lower control arm. Other than that it was a basically easy install. I did remove the Lf. header to give my fat old hands some room to work.
