First off, on a safety note, since the engine is only hanging by the manifold plate, I had a sturdy jackstand under the ringgear in case something went wrong...I would like to mention that since Kert added locking nuts welded to the frame plate it makes it alot easier to mount up the crossmember. You don't have to try and hold the nut with a wrench in between the plate and the frame. Nicely thought out product and he was never to busy to take my phone calls
Basic hand tools required...sweet truck!

Modified crossmember

It's still tight, but with a spacer between the flanges, it should be good to go

This pic. shows how you can now drop the pan w/o removing motor mounts

Off the hook

So, to answer your question Kurt, yes it will fit with the addition of the flanges
