      Our subframe is going to position the engine and trans at the 3* down angle. You're not going to gain or lose any space around the transmission tunnel just with the subframe swap. I'm not sure on the T56 magnum but we've put these in cars with a standard T56, TKX, 700r, and 350 transmissions. All of which had stock tunnels except for the T56 car which was already modified with the stock subframe in order to get good angles on everything.
      Thanks Josh. I always thought the Holley clamshell swap mounts lowered the engine down for max tunnel clearance, but I知 not totally sure. Of course you can only go so low with the stock subframe before oil pan clearance around the crossmember becomes an issue. Mines pretty tight all around, but it works and gives me good operating angles.
