Notching the crossmember for exhaust clearance
This is what I did on my 65 Cuda. On the Cross member it's self I cut a large enough hole so I could weld in a peice of 3 inch exhaust pipe, and then I streched it to fill a 3.5 inch opening to give a little more room. I plan on running 2.5 inch exhaust. My car originally did rub the exhaust when I had the 2.5 run under the x-member, but my car did sit low.
And now I have no exhaust, as I havn't got the new motor in yet! :toothy7:
