No pictures for this update

I got the motor mounts all welded in and I started on the transmission cross-member. The crossmember is going to be a 3 piece crossmember that bolts together where it drops down underneath of the transmission. That part is made of 4x4 tubing. The top pieces that sit in the frame rails are made of 6x6 and will not only hold up the transmission, but also support the arms from the front suspension. I need to get some more metal to finish the crossmember though.

I also got the manifold drilled and tapped for 2 pyrometer guages. I'm going to be running an autometer pyrometer for now, but I'm considering getting the snow performance water/meth injection system and it uses a pyrometer too, so I went ahead and drilled that hole while I had the turbo off.

That's about it.

I'm taking the whole week off after thanksgiving, so hopefully I will be able to knock out the front suspension, finish up the trans crossmember, and the little bit of engine work and start putting this bad boy back together.
