Transmission Mount and other Chassis Mods.
The engine/transmission assy. are about 1.5" longer than stock. This required that the transmission support be modified. At this point, it just became easier just to build a new one. I made 4" ID exhaust pass through tubes so the 3" exhaust could be accomodated, and made the center section removable.
I also added some clearance for one of the header tubes that came too close to the frame, and made clearance for the PS pump.
On the bottom of the crossmember, I made a "Bash Box", which should protect the oil pan from any "Smokey and the Bandit, or Dukes of Hazzard" moments.
All seams were welded on the entire chassis for strength.
