I'm using a CPP tubular cross member. Yes I did check drive angle, it was about 8 degrees down towards the rear end with the tranny hitting the tunnel. The rear end is pointing up towards the engine approx. 3 degrees. So the engine needs to come up about 5 degrees. Which without cutting is impossible as it is. I think I'm going to cut a section out and make a bolt in removal tunnel cap. This will allow future easy access. My biggest reason for not wanting to cut is the carpet fitment after I modify that tunnel. But I guess we can seam and add on if need be. I'll keep you posted.
Thanks all for input!
