Just kidding. Support the trans with a floor jack and a block of wood, unbolt the crossmember and left it down a little. That may give a little needed space.

I never wanna do a cps ever again, im still not done cause the one that advanced sold me the bracket was too small so now im gonna fab up a peice of sheet metal to hold it in there, and i think that the bolt on the higher side of the bell housing is stripped. im gettin sick of my heep. i cant wait till i deploy and get a new heep and can drop a 305 in the one i got now.
