I changed out my 67 K-member for the 74 slant-member and now the engine seems to sit a bit lower and the exhaust rubs the center link. Has anyone had this happen or is this known to happen? Its not a big deal for me because I am putting in a new exhaust and will bend around it, but it seems odd that the motor would set lower. Its about 3/4" lower. Lower center of gravity can't be bad.

If you used a used old set of spool mounts they can sag a bit as the rubber is "well worn in"...
