Mike, thanks for the pictures. I needed to loose the cross member because the pan went clear through it.

The new front suspension is made of 2x2 and I have a removable cross member at the top of the shock towers to beef up the front.
The trans mount will move easy because it’s angle.

My problem today is the motor mounts are too big and too close to the frame. It's hard see but the stud is 1/4 inch above the top of the frame. I’ll search out a different size tomorrow. Thanks for the picture offer. I dropped the motor in today and it fits well. The bell housing hits the frame at the starter motor so I’ll cut away the bell housing.

Doug, Yes, I remember you. I miss Nostalia Nights, good cars. Every Sat. morning at 7:30 at Starbucks at the new Safeway parking lot at the top of 41st Ave has a bunch of cars, 40 or more. Yes, I’ve been watching your build. You’re going to have great car. Yes, I’d like to stay on this side of the hill. When I get rolling again lets go.
