First of all, thank you all for your continued imput. I should have pics tomorrow. I cannot get the engine #'s right now my truck is @ a warehouse 50 miles from here. Yes I know something doesn't seem right because it isn't! And yes the rack does mount in front of the cross member. And I am sure the 216 as well as the V8 worked just fine. But I do not have a 216 or a V8. As you know the V8 block is shorter . The 6 is a much longer block.Therefore no clearance Clarence. And as far as the oil pan not coming out-- There is only a small amount of room in between the crossmember and the pan. Obviosly I will do some further investigation. TCI said this unit is not made for my application. As well as Fat Man. Maybe a 283 or another small block but for now I'll have to wait and see. Pics tomorrow I hope Jack
