one other thing to consider, and don't get me wrong here I am not trying to call anybody else's stuff down, is that without a cross member where the old stock trans cross member was, the engine becomes the link from one side rail to the other in a build like greybeard's that has no original trans cross member but instead has a new cross member quite a way back on the frame. this can be hard on engine mounts as they take the normal engine mount load as well as some frame flex load because the frame is less stiff in that area. it can also be hard on the cab because the frame flexes with the load of the cab mounted on a "lever" on the outside of the frame rail, which naturally wants to twist the frame. possibly greybeards frame is not a current pic or one before the finished product or maybe there have not been problems with his system. just theorizing here so you van get it right and have no issues later.
