My '72 FJ40 has a 350/700R4 swap with Advanced Adapters parts. The trans pan was notched to make room for the front U joint, but it was notched too much and it leaks. I'm not sure how to solve this. AA discusses this in their instructions: 3. Toyota L/C Twin Sticks & Front Drive Shaft Kits - Advance Adapters - https://www.advanceadapters.com/3-toyota-lc-twin-sticks-front-drive-shaft-kits
"FRONT DRIVESHAFT CLEARANCE: ... Normally, proper clearance can be achieved by offsetting the engine and drivetrain 1/2" to 1" towards the driver's side. When using a transmission such as a 700R, this offset may still not provide enough clearance. We offer a front output transfer case yoke assembly that will take the standard 4-1/4" to 4-1/2" diameter flange yoke and reduce it to 3-1/2".
In my situation, the 3.5" AA yoke is already in place and the engine/trans were already shifted to the driver's side. Perhaps a new pan could be installed and the area where the notch is can be bent up to squeeze the gasket along the notch? Any ideas?
Here's the T-case and area of notch in the trans pan. (Note that the pan body has also been pushed inwards to clear the U joint)...
Pics of the notch...
Note that the trans housing was barely touched by the notch. The screwdriver is on the pan. The trans housing is above the gasket...
Could bending a new trans pan up along the notch successfully seal it? Maybe with RTV?...
