Thanks blu, wish I was further along than I am but it's coming along, slowly. Well if my calibrated eye is any good it should clear the floor. Its in line with the outboard trans crossmember bolt. Had to hold it as high as possible as the header collector is right underneath it. Probably wouldn't be a bad idea to fab up a small heat shield to go between the two. Just "one of the hundred" things to check and finish hooking up once the motor is in place.
