Just let the engine and tranny hang from the lift in the engine bay area to see how it looked. I was also wondering if I could leave the stock, rear engine cross member in place for added frame strength. I'm sure Y'all could have TOLD me it would have to come out for the V-8. It looks like even after I remove all the rivets, it's a tight enough fit that I'll have to cut it into to get it out.
