The stock truck oil pan extends below the cross member by about 1 inch. This will be a street only vehicle, so I'm thinking I'll be ok.
Since the engine is biased towards the passenger side, the oil pan to cross member clearance is tighter there. This is forcing a rear engine position, which I like from a weight distribution.
The driver side has about 1.25" of clearance.
The lighting is bad, but the tightest area for the trans is to the fold in the firewall. There is 3/4-1" clearance in that area.
There is about 11" between the cover and where the radiator support mounts. Even with a factory harmonic balancer, this leaves room for radiator/water pump swaps, etc.
To my untrained eye, this placement seems like it will work, right?
