it will move forward with the rack since the bracket uses the rack bolt... if you don't want to move the ebcm you can cut the ear off the bracket and use the lower bolts to hold the bracket in place

Made it a little difficult to drop the trans/rear, but engine bay looks a lot better

Reviving an old thread, does anyone still make a spacer kit to move the rack forward? Just dropped in an engine with a 10rib setup for a Ysi and i have about 1/8 inch from the balancer to the rack.

With the popularity of going straight to a 10 rib drive on these cars picking up steam I thought I would post a couple photos of what it takes to move your steering rack forward to clear the bigger balancer. I spent 2 hours today making brackets and spacers to do this on my friends car for his soon to be delivered ecs 10 rib bracket.
Basically it entails cutting off the forward mounting ears from the cradle and bolting replacement ears to it. This allows you to move the rack forward .330" for the needed clearance.

Are you able to produce a set to sell to me?
also just making sure, this will allow me to run a 2 belt crank pulley for a dedicated blower drive separate from the accessory drive correct?
Thank you
