Scot: We can't say "looks to me like". The secret is to put the motor in there as best you can and see what it looks like. See where everything lands, tranny mount, motor mounts, tranny shifter, pinion angle and all potential firewall, frame and steering box interferences. Mock up or mess up. The aftermarket tubular cross members are pretty nice and can be bolted in...for later removal. $50-$60. Don't start cutting until motor/tranny/exhaust is cherry picked in there. You have the clip off which is absolutely perfect. Maybe you have mocked it already. If you do have to cut the old cross member out, you will be replacing it with another thus re-strengthening. I would guess Carl must have mocked it up somehow or did some extreme cyphering and saved time and structure. Good job Carl (that hurts my brain!)
