I've dropped the engine/trans in and have it 1/2 wired. The reason I cut the cross-brace was to insure that the engine/trans would sit below the floor. I took the oil pan off at first and found that the crank hit the un-cut brace and the engine/trans was well above the floor line. So, the brace got cut. As it sits, the floor and engine cover go back on as stock. I'm in the process of installing a tilt wheel, a power steering box, instruments (including a backup camera) and building a 30 gal fuel tank. I haven't decided what I'm going to do with the inside yet or if I'm going to paint the outside. It'll come to me....or not.
