Your doing ok with posting here. You may do better with a continuous build thread in the 2nd gen thread title area. Can't miss it, it's below the 1st gen thread, lol. You can find it when you enter the forum down about mid page. Start a thread and be sure to keep it updated because that's what we all live on here.

I'll make a guess at tunnel raising and what others will say. Cut the tunnel top section, Put the engine in, or try then get your measurement at that time. Pretty much every engine swap is different, though it sounds like a V8 is your project your into. We have quite a few of those and there are some pictures posted here and around. To me it looks like they cut just the top most section around the bell housing and trying not to remove the driveline hump if they could.

Welcome to the forum. :)
