Hybrid How-To: Engine Swap
The steering U-joint and the downpipe are friendly if you use the R33 crossmember. Your options are to notch the downpipe, which may or may not work, make a custom downpipe, buy a downpipe from Super Tuner Motorsports, have unStable Hybrids make a new downpipe starting with your casting, or use the McKinney Motorsports mounts. If you do notch the stock downpipe, be sure to leave plenty of space, as the engine will move, and your steering is important.This is a good time to check the condition of the U-joint. Ours was sticky and notchy in its movement. The joint will be seeing a lot of heat from the downpipe, so a fresh joint is good preventative maintenance anyway.
