Re: 4x4 LS cross member

I'll add my two cents. I used Dirty Dingo mounts for my '70 K10. I have a Dana 44 up front. Overall I like the mounts (the newer ones have holes for front brake lines that run through the frame). I have a 4" lift and have loads of room between the mount cross member and the pumpkin.

But the two major problems I've had: First, I can tell my LS heads are going to be really tight against the firewall even after pushing the engine all the way forward. Second, headers. I sent back the first pair I bought because of fit. I now have mid-length Doug Thorley headers and still had to modify the header slightly on the drivers side to fit inside the frame. An extra inch or two of engine clearance up above the frame would have made all the difference.
