What's next on the list to do? How was your clearance on the oil pan with the DIY crossmember?
Posted a pic of the cross member awhile back, it's close but it clears fine.

Yes, check back a page or two and you'll see all the evidence, both the dizzy & the vavle covers were closer than I would of liked.

Plus, by moving the motor forward an inch & the tranny cross member rearward an inch & a half, both the drive lines are close enough to the same length to afford having to carry only one spare drive shaft cause it will replace either front or rear.

Remember, the 700r is 2.5"s longer than a stock th-350.
