I don’t have my LS engine up against the firewall, either. Looks like I might only be ok because I have the CPP crossmember and the driveshaft hoop is taller than the stock crossmember. Maybe it’s because the old th350 trans is shorter than my 4L80E?

Yes, it will be close, but no closer than a factory 2wd would be. The longer overdrive transmission definitely takes up more of that available space
