Tubage,
I had to cut the crossmember to make the 454 fit and give me enough angle for the TKO and driveshaft pinion angles.
I used a sawzall and took it a local welder. Works just fine.

Thanks Jeff. How much clearance would you say you have now? Chris

I can rock the engine back to a fairly incredible angle. As a matter of fact I have used a floor jack to 'force' the engine to rock back as I have the solid mounts and they dont allow for the motor to move enough. I used a fairly dramatic angle to get the transmission to line up real easy. Not sure it was very good for the motor mounts, but I no longer care and do what needs to be done to make my car work.
If you look at my cluttered photo you can see the jack holding up the engine under the balancer and the oil pan and how it fits in the notched crossmember. There is more than 1" of additional clearance if I needed it.

Looks like all my pics have been killed off by Charter.
I will need to spend some time fixing everything again now that I have a new internet provider.
