Sucks to have to 45 it up right at the headers.... My setup has the original e-brake cables too which are all kinds of in the way....

Gothcha. Your trans x-member looks like what I used. I put a 3/4 wood spacer under the pipe/on top of the x-member to ensure good clearance when building mine (it will drop a hair & allows 1/2 - 3/4 gap).

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.
