I moved the engine into place to see what kind of clearance issues I'm going to have.
The first one is the A/C compressor, which I anticipated:
But since I'm doing the solid axle swap, this portion of the frame that will have to be cut isn't really doing anything anyways (except for holding the radiator up) it won't be a big deal.
I'm planning on keeping the stock crossmember. There is plenty of clearance around the oil pan:
I think the trans-crossmember will need to be lowered:
Then I've been continuing to weld the frame back together and removed one of the rear cab mounts. The cab mounts are VERY difficult to removed as they're welded on. It took me about 3 hours to get the one off. In doing so, I gouged into the frame a little, so I also welded that back up:
I had to cut the rear cab mount a little to clear around the front spring hanger.
