Thanks Brent for putting the pics up--

I might add that this is an earlier housing but is a good example of how they are bolted between the block mounting holes and around the bottom--also how it was allowed to trim the bottom and leave 7 inches between the bolts.

I also did some measuring and the trimming at the bottom only added anear an inch ground clearance and that was mostly for clearance loading and unloading the car from trailer--the NHRA requires 3 ground clearance from front of car to 12 inches behind the front wheel.
The bottom edge was only aprox 8.5 inches below crank centerline before trimming and 7.5 after cutting
