Default crossmember

OK guys. I know I am working on a 1st gen DSE frame, but since it appears the crossmembers fit both (aside from less floor clearance in 2nd gen) I hope this helps a few guys. I put the G-force crossmember in today. It fits perfect- with room to spare. It just about falls in. Plenty of room between frame & floor on first gen. Plenty of header clearance, and I have a 3/4" shim under the trans mount. At worst, you may have to loosen the subframe bolts on one side on 2nd gen to slide one end in place. Tu- I had a full floor put in the car when I built it- but you are correct- I was able to coax a smidge of clearance for the speedtech crossmember. I could have left it in, but it was very tight.. I'll get some better pics tomorrow & update
