    I did the trans swap to a sm420 mated to the buick v6 1967 cj. The skid plate will not fit. Any suggestions?

    It seems to have no clearance.

    pics would help.........However if it is less than 1/2" I would make some spacers to lower skid plate. any more and I would make a new plate.

    I had to make 1/2" or 3/4" spacers for the skidplate when I swapped in the T-18.
