XXL Someone at ECE is incorrect. The "standard" bolt-in C-notch for the 67-72 provides about 3" of additional clearanc
It provides 3" more clearance but the rear end housing will hit the bed floor so you'll only get an extra 2" (+/-).

DO THE C-NOTCH. It's better to have it & not need it than to need it & not have it. Is the frame going to be custom painted or just chassis black? You can still put a notch in after paint.... it will just require a little more effort to not mess the fresh paint up. But, you'll want a way to be able to paint the c-notch to match the rest of the frame after it's all installed.

If you want some help, I'm in the area & don't mind. You need to come over & see everything first hand. I have no intention of 'laying out', but the notch is in mine so I won't bottom out because I drive around low ALL THE TIME, loaded or not.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
