Thanks Greg. I'll take a look.

I raised the transmission up, Scott. Too much working angle in the front u-joint I do believe was the issue. At least that's what I was adjusting anyway.

Later in the afternoon I raised the nose of the pinion back up just a touch to see if that helps make things better as I had it about .5 degrees nose down. I haven't taken another official measurement but I should have the pinion .5-1 degree up now and the transmission 1.5 degrees down. The weather sucks today so I may not get it out to see if that helped make things even better.

Trans tunnel will eventually have to be removed entirely. I did that wrong way back in 09 when I first did the swap. I have the Hooker T56 tunnel piece coming. We'll see how that fits before I cut any more. If this works, I'm still confident I won't have to raise the driveshaft tunnel, but the factory brace in the floor I mentioned early does have to be cut for me to be happy with its clearance. It's really tight right now.
