So will this frame replace the stock one, while retaining the stock floor?

Most of the stock floor. Some of the floor cutting is due to the ride height. I'm thinking "IF" everything works out as planned. It will have a minimum of 5" of ground clearance and sit about an 1.5" lower at ride height then an airbagged x-frame car. Exhaust is tucked, fuel tank moved, and this is on a 295/35/21 and 265/40/20.

We shall see.

Where's the fuel tank going to be located?

I'd have to weed through all the other bs not pertaining to the build and I'm too lazy to do that. Are you keeping the original filler door location? If not the wagon tank could be an option, they mount in the quarter panel.

I would mount the fuel tank up in the front of the car so the fuel doesn't have far travel.It will also keep you from having to cut the trunk floor.

It also works well for unplanned marshmallow roasting with it mounted near the engine.
