I found a good solution (for me only) to the cross member hitting the drive shaft scenario. Lower the engine. Get better (lower) center of gravity. I needed to move the engine back a few inches to achieve this it and had to redo the firewall. This gets me a better front to back weight ratio also. The only issue that I see is that the engine looks like a peanut in the engine compartment. Overall, a lot of work.

Yep and lowering the engine was not an option for me. I love the position of my engine. Not too high and not to low. Just right in my opinion.
Anyway I've been blocking the heck out of the cab. Its still not to my satisfaction but its getting there. Here is the firewall, its coming out pretty good but I want to block it a little more before paint. Its pretty straight but not where I want it.
