Here's another shot of ground clearance gained from trimming the bellhousing flange parallel to the ground. Get rid of all of it for maximum effect. Mine is ERA 409 trimmed as described by Bob Putnam.

As a guide for trimming, lay a straightedge up against the bottom of the bellousing and up against its bottom side, then scribe a line across the flange parallel to the ground. Cut the engine plate to match.
