Anyway, I decided to lower the engine a bit:
I stole project goldilocks idea. I didnt take a pic but I was able to drop the engine and trans in and clear the tunnel with the space made by notching the crossmember. Problem was that the oil pan and trans were to low by about 2 inches. So I am going to cut the tunnel and raise it to clear. I figured I would but its nice to know I wont have to raise it 4 inches.
