As long as you don't have Polly engine mounts it should fit.
If you do have them, Anything will rub.

I used to run a Superram and had allot of trouble because had the mounts. They lift the engine about 1 to 1.5 inches.

The Hotchkiss fit on mine as well. I did add some 1/8th inch aluminum spacers under the base plates just for a little extra clearance, but it fits fine.

I don't understand why the poly mounts raise the engine more than new rubber ones would. I can understand that if you go from old beat rubber ones to poly you whould see a height change but why do they sit higher than rubber? Anyone have pic's of the poly mounts? I'm about to get one or the other and need to know soon. Thanks

they don't, i have energy suspension poly engine mounts and they are exactly the same as the stock ones except that they are made of polyurathane.
