The Rivergate manual talked about some tunnels bending over the years
as people step on the tunnel to hop in and out.

Do you think that was your case?  Or is it just production variation in the 
sheet metal?

Like I said mine is real close.  It may even hit with engine vibration.
I won't know until I do the test drive (hopefully next weekend).

That was me.  I ended up welding a plate with a bulge over the hole to clear 
the u-joint.

I also put a hole there along with a sheet metal plate to cover it up.
But I don't pull my engine very often.

I did it because I was worried after seeing a photo someone posted where the
the U joint hit the tunnel after converting to the Datsun tranny.

That U joint sure does get dang close.
