Rich, thank you for commenting
. I just can't handle that heavy engine, that's why I bought the mock up engine.
Yossarian19, (Welcome!! ; ), I was looking at that crossmember, notching it, sigh,
Looking at that engine supports, to lower the engine, I'll have to do a little surgery,refabbing. Looks like I can only come down and inch or so before loosing some of the support of them. Alas, keeps me thinking! lol
