The c-notch & bed floor bottom out @ the same time on my 74. Your description of the frame is just like the 67-72's (low under the cab & kicks up as it transitions to the bed). I'm going to crawl under my 74 today for some dimension verifications & will try to compare your description of the c.member mounting location while under there.

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.
