I've kept close tabs on Phil's truck and his adventures to Bonneville. I'm going to do one of two solutions: either a cowl hood (I'll have to fabricate it, there aren't any aftermarket hoods for my car with enough clearance in the right spot) of cut up the crossmember so I can lower the engine. Even though it's a lot of work, I'm leaning towards the latter, mostly due to aesthetic reasons.
Cutting the crossmember has other benifits too. Lower CG, less angle in the driveshaft, and it allows me to change the oil without pulling the motor...
