crossmember nightmare. help? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have the same side mount crossmember as you.

I mounted mine just high enough to give me 1/2" of clearance between the pulley and the original crossmember.

The engine is tilted 3.5 degrees down in relation to the frame and that worked out perfect for clearances everywhere. I matched that tilt with 3.5 degrees up at the pinion.
