Calling all corner carvers!

So I was able to set my engine in the car and it’s CLOSE. Even with the 3/4” I trimmed off the K-member I’m going to have to trim a little more.
Looks good, close enough that you'll need to trim some more. If you are pulling the engine from above you'll need even more room so you can rotate the engine up and out of the K. Since the pan is brand new you can also trim it if you want. Knocking the square off those front corners of the pan would add a lot of clearance. If you are going to install the K frame after the engine is hung in place then you can keep the K frame tight to the pan. Do you have a spare engine block for mock up work? It is a lot easier if you have a bare block and a bare transmission case. You can drop a bare block and transmission case in the car for a check fit without busting your back.
