Good Question, if you raise the engine the transmission has to come up or the engine will not drain correctly and you'll also have bad angles on the the drive shaft

True but the crossmember in question will actually drop by about a half inch which will make the trans clear for the applications. Im building the bracket for the mounting will have pics soon
