Transaxle/fueltank clearance
Any one have a picture (taken from flat on the ground, looking up at the transaxle showing the clearance between the back of the transaxle and the fuel tank ( car is 1982ROW)
I'm swapping in another drive train, and not sure of clearance at this point, I don't have the fuel tank in the car at moment, and sold off the transaxle way back.(diff going in has longer than usual rear cover, and is going to be close fit)
(should have photographed, and measured this this prior to disassembly, but didn't
)
Thanks

Here is 85 auto.
Looks like first interference is on top drivers side where cover would contact the body where it meets the battery box. About 10 mm or so.
Gas tank, more clearance, though it tapers. Hard to measure this.
