No, it looks nice everywhere else... That would be a bit to far forward for a cross member I would think... It may have been for a clutch fork or something since its right where one would be. It was a factory stick on the tree as it still has the clutch pedal assembly with the rod and has a low hump but I have no idea what the notch was really for.

I really dont like the 350th with the low gear and no OD so I have to do something... since the pedal is already there, Im thinking 5 speed OD or 6 speed with double OD may be in order. I want the bottom get up and go with the freeway ability at a comfortable 70 to 80 MPH. That alone will add about 3k to the project though...
