Is the trans. at the right height?
Looks good

Don't believe I'll need to go to that extent of modification's to move it forward.
There's about a 1/2" till the inner mounts tough the frame wall, being I need to drill new holes in the frame anyway, that gives me a couple option's to work with.
#1) simply slide everything forward until the frame taper mandates I stop.
#2) flip the cross member around (which will net me about 1.5"s) and drill the new holes accordingly, would basically be stagered in the frame rails instead of inline.
