I was thinking loosen the motor mounts, D/C the driveshaft and drop the tranny tail and jack up the front end so it can tilt back farther?

I know the rad support is in the way for a straight pull out. any other ways?

I loosened the body mounts and raised the body. :D

But I already had a 3" BL on it so those were free inches.

I'll look through my pics and see if I can see any good angles.

You'd have to raise it pretty high. You'd almost have to raise the tranny up to get the motor pointed down in front in your situation.
 






LOL just a bit eh? haha, so far I'm going with my idea....but want to know if it works first. Somebody here has to have installed a cam on their expy
