It fit in really nice. Lots of clearance top and bottom on the factory crossmember. I used Animals Speed shop stands and adjustable sliders and I moved the motor back as far as I could. I think the d/s ended up being around 66" or 67" and is 3.5" diameter. Burb has a 3.5/5 drop in it right now.

I was a little hesitant on going to a one piece, but the guy who built it said I was good to go so I trusted him. Reputable local shop.
