I have a 68 LWB. LS/T56 Magnum swapped. QA1 rear suspension as low as it will go (7" drop?). Engine is @ 4 degree down towards rear.
I just got my 3.5" 1 piece DS made and it hits the top of the trailing arm crossmember before I can even get the DS in the rear yoke.
So my options are.....
I can cut out the top of the crossmember and build a loop up a few inches (2-3") or swap that crossmember for one that provides a good bit more clearance.
The folks who make the aftermarket ones don't show measurements to let me make a decision on which one will do what I need. Anyone here have one and willing to provide measurements from the top of the frame to the top pf the loop?

The ECE style aftermarket T/A x-member is about ~1.5" taller than the original T/A x-member. It's un-modified here in these pics:

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
