The other task was I wanted the engine and trans to sit at a specific height in the chassis so that the trans oil pan was not below the bottom of the frame. I wanted it to sit a bit further rearward than where I ended up with the current set up, but I am happy at this point. For now, I used a truck oil pan on the engine as the bottom of the front cross member is actually lower than the bottom of the frame rail in the stock chassis. The current height and front/rear position is OK and none of the oil pans hang below the cross member of the bottom of the frame rail. I cut out the hump to switch to a high hump because I am using a 4L80e, and thought I would need the clearance. But now, I think I could have gotten away with the stock low hump floor. I'll set it back in to verify, but I will stay with switching to the high hump as I have a floor mat that fits the high hump. Here are the pieces I fab'd up for the engine stands off of the front cross member. They will use 3 holes on each side of the engine in the cross member to located them. I need to do some finishing on them, then back in the truck to tack weld, then back out for finish welding & paint and then back in to finish up the install with the actual 6.0 and 4L80e with will be powering the truck.
