Now we have had the tunnel mounted arms clear with the QTP's before with NO drive shaft loop but that last time it just wouldn't work.
If I can help anymore please ask.
Thanks!

FWIW right now I've got a non-adjustable Edelbrock that mounts in the stock location. Probalby switch to a Spohn chasis mount over the winter. Finally switching to a full slick, and trying to get her to hook, so I'd feel more comfortable getting it off the trans. Also I purchased and tried a Yank x-member, but couldn't get it to work, clearances were all off so I threw in the towel and sold it for half price.

I'll have the spohn one off my car in a few weeks if you are intrested in it. I went with a BMR crossmember, and the one I originally got I ended up giving to a friend of mine that works @ eastside as he needed it to put the th400 in his car, it fit perfect in his car, I I had him reorder one for me to replace the one I gave him.
I think it will work out great, and it has several instant center positions to use too, should be a good aid to help get the most out of my car, probably take a while to figure out where to put it though.
