Had this problem when we did the SOA on glen1ns 70. We used the 60's DC and also a shaft spacer at the case. We used a 75mm spacer if my memory is correct. It seepms a lot but worked a charm and because its only on the front there were no probs with driveshaft vibs as it is only used at fairly low speeds.

I don't know if I had this problem with the 3F but certainly noticed it after the V8 went in.

After putting in a 2in body lift, I lifted the gearbox 2in now I have heaps of clearance
