Crackedback, yes, I was thinking I have this as close as I can get it sitting on the stand. And I guess the real test will come when it is actually installed and the tranny crossmember is all locked in place. Looking at all the measurements, they all seem to align themselves with all that I have read here on this board and especially the specs you have mentioned on other posts. I do not want to take a hammer to the tubes as someone else here did out of frustration. I think I am real close. The mini-starter is also a real tight space to install it. I guess if I am close in just the one area, the tubes will dent themselves but with the torque strap I may not have an issue at all. Time will tell.
