I could flip it over, and seal the insulation on the underside tight to the tulle... I'll look at it tomorrow when I install the trans... I centered the clutch disc and removed the front diff... The clutch disc was easy, even without a special alignment tool... The front diff was an entirely different story... I did eventually get it out, but it took me an hour or so to figure out how without lifting the motor...

I got the first stage of the cross member done... I'll try to get pictures up tomorrow... It is crazy early A.M...

Cheers for now!!
