ERA accomplishes that with a rectangular gusset welded just forward of the x. The trans mount sits on that pad and the tail shaft is above the 3" dimension of the 'x'. Trans comes out from the top.

Is Hurricane's intentions to have a design in which the transmission can be dropped from the bottom? This is somewhat (depending on your own views) of a knock against both ERA and SPF, as pulling the seats and tunnel just to service a clutch sounds extreme. At the least the first time is a PITA...after that it isn't as big a deal.
Cool drawings.
