wow...I think I'm stupid or something. I re-inforced the x-member, went to put it back in, and not only did it not fit AT ALL, but there were 2 areas where the trans itself was touching the x-member. Had to remove the x-member and completely chop it up so that I can re-design it. Dangit!!! I don't know what I did wrong the first time. I have the engine to body angle difference at 5.5 right now, so the trans is as it should be, and I couldn't even get the crossmember to within 1" of the body before it started hitting crap. I'm amazed I even got it in the first time

So, tomorrow I'll build crossmember V3. Cutting steel is my new least favorite activity
