Well, got my jeep's drive train dropped A N D, Allison/sbc lowered in the 2-ton.

GMC that I got it from had a narrower frame side to side, so I can't use the cradle from the Allison, and will bolt on the legs/trans mount legs and go from there.

If I have to move the crosmember too far either fore/aft, the bottom of the frame won't be bent down so I'll have to heat it and bend it down.
I've searched some threads of guys that dropped in a sbc in place of their I6 and said "it just drops right in".. Well, it may but what motor to frame mounts are used?
Part numbers would be FANTASTIC!!
