Question Oil pan problems * please help

Ok i am stumped !

let me best describe my problem, I swapped a 13B gsl-se motor into a 85 Gsl that came originally with a 12a...After swapping car runs etc but take it around the block and something is up with the steering which was never a issue before the engine swap. Underneath i see the oil pan is literally touching the steering linkage alot where maybe even the motor is resting on top of it and when i give it gas the motor will have alittle twist and moves the steering linkage.

Any Ideas?

specs:::Gsl-se motor with a 12a front cover and 13b gsl-se engine mount brace, I am using the 12A right side motor mount (Passenger side) and the gsl-se motor mount (driver side) and using the 13b gsl-se oil pan..

Has anyone had the same issue i did numerous searches with no luck...

I need to fix this quick anyone?
