Hey Tom,

I just put a couple of pic's in my gallery showing my crossmember mod and transmount mod.

When I put my motor in after the rebuild, I had added a canton pan which is bigger than a std. pan. I had to notch the crossmember for clearance as you can see. (note that the drain plug is about 1" below the crossmember, but the picture looks like it is behind the section)

When I went from Toploader to TKO I had to mod my transmount. It was pretty straight forward, however I did find that I needed to clearance the tailhousing on the transmission ( there is a rib on the bottom of the trans that I notched to keep the trans in plane)

Let me know if you would like any pics or measurements, my car is up in the air on my rack as I wait for my suspension upgrade parts.

Take care,
Mike
