Nope. Due to the big oil pan I had to raise the engine up on the mounts which screwed up the driveline angles (which I had resolved to within 1/2° of perfect) which required jacking up the back of the trans to compensate--goodbye tunnel clearance. I could barely get my fingers between the pinion yoke and the trans tunnel.

3 1/2&quot; <span style="font-style: italic">maybe</span> if I dropped the trans down some again, larger, no way.
