2) Do the engine mounts come with it or are they extra?
3) What needs to be done to the tranny x-member? Just raising it and moving it forward?
Thanks

1) The stock lower control arms will contact the dropmember's lower control arm shaft mounting block at the edges when dumped. The stock lower control arms will need to be trimmed a little to avoid contact. Also, a mounting plate for the air spring will need to be attached (I will be able to supply this for a little extra). I will post up a pic of this the beginning of next week.
2) The engine mounts WILL be part of the kit (I don't have any made yet for a traditional small block). All the installs I have currently done are for the GenIII motors (LS1). I will be installing another dropmember in a 69 this month, and it will be running a 350/400 combo. I will use the mounts from this install as a pattern for the kit.
3) The trans crossmember moves up and forward. I am sure the original can be modified. I will also be offering a tubular one with the kit at an additional charge.
