Trans tunnel measurement needed

[doddmoore]

I am moving my E brake at the recommendation of MANY of you to the top of my trans tunnel. I do not currently have my engine yet or the transmission but I want to make sure everything is going to clear. From most photos I have seen I am good but I want the numbers on it.

What is the clearance on a MKIV above the transmission (TKO 500) to the bottom of this crossmember? This is the last angled brace before the rear of the trans tunnel. From the bottom of that angled part to the top of the transmission how much clearance do I have?
Pictures would be GREAT (hint hint)

Not quite exactly what you are looking for, but I have the tunnel off on my TKO-600/427w combo and took a couple of pics for you. I can't imagine the tail section, where the measurement was taken, is too much different between the 500 and 600.This is with a 3/4" spacer under the standard energy suspension poly trans mount. As you can see I am about 2 degrees down angle, which accounts for the roughly 2 7/8" -3 1/16" measurements as seen in photos:
