Roscoe: Thanks for the pics, I can see how you mounted the bracket to the frame, that helps with orienting the bracket.
Tim: tranny is now approximately 2" up like you stated, but I still have a gap between my bracket and frame, see my pic
Jeff: thanks for the ifno and resources, I will check my clearances.

Here is another picture, again, my engine is exactly where I want it: front to backe measurements, side to side, level but my horizontal bracket is about 3/4" below where I need to mount it to the frame.
