RE: Floor problem - Any idea?

Maybe the engine was moved forward (therefore raised to keep the alignement) to accomodate a new transmission at some point? This would be the most logical explanation for the engine to be that high. Anyway, I will post my progress. Thanks for your help.
Sorry Eric I was posting at the same time you were.* I don't think a transmission change would be the cause of the height difference.* It could have been moved forward with out changing the height.*Besides it doesn't look like it has been moved forward but just up.*Also most of the time if the transmission has a longer tail shaft than the one that comes out the correct repair is to just shorten the prop shaft.* Well that is not 100% correct either, the correct repair is to fix the one that came out or replace it with one that fits.

Take some pictures when you get in there and let us know what you find.
