After trying to install my Accel SuperRam onto my 82' Trans Am, I ran into a minor problem.........the front wiper motor WON'T fit & I got no more then 3 inches of room to use.....it's a very small section wide, so I just need idea's on a motor to replace it with....I tried an 84 Firebird motor......VERY close, but still won't fit....about 1/8 to 1/4 inch shorter & it would have fit, the stock 82 wiper motor isn't even remotely close to fitting, that's about an inch too long. I've thought about trimming the mounting feet down a little. I've also looked at the local junk yark for possable replacements on other cars. Any suggestions? I don't mind having to rewire the system, it wouldn't be the first thing on the car that's needed it. Thanks guys!

Welcome to the "my wiper motor won't fit with the super ram club" if you find an answer let everyone else know

 

I thought a certain intake from LPE fixed the problem?

I remember some people grinded away the plenum.

 

Welcome to the "club"

 

On mine I removed the spacers under the wiper motor and eliminated the electrical connection by desoddering it from the circuit board and extending the connector with wires to clear the superam plenium. I then trimmed the wiper motor plastic cover and it now clears.
