Re: Project "Hulk Jr"

OK so for good measure. I pulled the motor and trans so I could separate the trans from the engine and check the TC to flex plate. it looked good no binding or interference. so I re-attached it and now just waiting on the new oil pan.

I did move the crossmember 2-1/4" forward. why 2-1/4"s well the driver side frame had 2 holes already I think the 6 cylinder location, so all I had to do was drill the passenger side and lower frame rail holes. It did put the crossmember close to the top of the axle but sill have over 4" of travel before the crossmember would hit the axle. with the new add a leafs and how stiff the spring is now I think it will be OK. Before I started this project the cross member was about the same height as the top of the third member.
