Anyone else trying to get a Blueprint 347 with 4R70W transmission into the new MK5 frame? I've got two big problems.
1) The Canton 15-610 Front T sump oil pan will not clear the angled cross bracing in the front of the frame.
2) The rear pan on the 4R70W will not clear the transmission mount tabs welded to the frame in the rear.

For the oil pan, I guess I could change the oil pan to a non-T design, but this is a new engine bought along with my MK5 kit, so I would think the parts supplied by the two manufacturers should work together.

For the 4R70W clearance, it looks like I need to cut off the forward carriage-bolt holes (at least) on the frame. But then the transmission mount is just held on by the back two carriage bolts.

Ideas?
