I notched the cross member. I really did not want to get in to other possible clearance/angle issues and work. I figure stock would probably be best and easiest to do.
I went side to side with my mount. I used 1/4'' plate on the sides and 2'' channel. I think it looks pretty good. I also made sure the tranny angle and rear end angle were the same. un That is very important, as I'm sure you know.
That is good info on the TV cable!!! I will keep that in mind when building mine. A buddy of mine, who built my tranny, is adamant on getting this correct so I have a watchful eye on this. I can post pix when I get it done.
Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure mine is 4.11. That is a big reason for going with the 700. One day I may put in a higher gear but, for now, it will have to do. I think my 292 could push a higher gear easy enough. I will just need to find out the sweet spot rpm for it and try to match it.
Speaking of mounts, I am going to build a trailer hitch under mine while I;m at it. I'll start another thread for that in case others might be interested. It won't be for pulling a Cigarette Boat or anything but, it will be well built enough to trust a motorcycle trailer with my '46 Knucklehead on it or my Meyers Manx style dune buggy.
Plus, they are nice for a platform. for gear and generator etc.
Thanks again for the info!! I appreciate it!!! I'll keep pix coming.
