You can modify the crossmember to get more room - which has been done a zillion times. I really pays to mock all this stuff up in the chassis to make some final decisions on how best to address the problem.

Thanks for sharing, Dale. Beautiful detailing. I like the black pumps, pulley and mag adaptor set against the maroon block. Looks great.

Not to derail, but I've been doing some work on my roadster and I noticed a rub spot where the belt/pulley is kissing the center of the tie rod. Looking at your pictures, seems like yours is doing the same. Thought of making a spacer to put under the pump legs to raise the motor us a tad, but I think I'll leave it alone.
