Engine's in.... no clearance for oil filter! #122241 02/24/08 05:05 AM

After bolting in the engine, I went to install the oil filter and adapter. There isn't enough clearance and the oil filter is hitting the edge of the trans bell housing. Has anyone run into this before or can offer suggestions? If pictures would make this clearer, I can post later.
