Default Good pic of truck manifold setup with K-member notched?

Anybody have a good picture of the notching that needs to be done to the stock K-member on a truck manifold turbo setup? I looked thru the sticky but most of those fellas have an aftermarket k-member.

I just have the engine off the kmember now and know it would be easier notching it with the engine off. In order to see everywhere it would be easier with the engine on. I dont want to put it on and take it off again. So pics would be nice.

I kinda notched mine to make some more clearance. Just from looking at it. I also took about an inch off the inside of the motor out stand. Heres some pics of my k-member.... hopefully it will work. I also took about 3/4" off the edge. I just basically made a few cuts and scribes, and then beat it down flat and then welded all the seams. I wont know if its sufficient till i get the engine back in.
