Default 13/16 vs 7/8 64 LeMans center link differences?

Other than the tapered stud size is there a difference in shape? I got a ProForged one the is supposed to be right but it rubs on the oil pan. So I’m wondering if there is more of a curve in the center on one vs the other. I replaced all the front suspension and the tie rods were way to long as well.

Any changes to your pitman arm, idler arm, or motor mounts?

Mounts yes, pitman and idler no. I am using the 3/16” spacer under the mounts from Butler and it barely clears

Brodad..........i have the proforged one also, i replaced everything in front except the pitman.......mine is close but does not hit.......so far. Just seems odd so many are having these issues with new center link bars. Mine is a 66

After having a great talk with one of the guys at Ames I found out they have a low mileage GTO there and the clearance on it is very close so maybe it's less of an issue than I think.
