After looking it over we found rust and patches in the shock towers and frame rails so we decided to replace the frame rails.

It is a good thing we removed the frame rails the left side was never welded to the floor pan and also had rust holes in it.

The front frame rails have been replaced and the TCI crossmember installed. Follow along in Modified Mustangs & Fords magazine to see the install in detail

A few more pictures. We have been working on other projects and waiting for the Speedway Engineering rear end to be finished.

We haven't done anything to straighten out the firewall until we see how the engine fits

We had already cut out the transmission tunnel and yesterday Steve brought the engine and trans.

There has been a lot of talk how the TCI products don't fit but we had no problem. The motor mounts that bolt to the block are slotted and we installed them the as far forward as we could to set the engine back. The mounts were tighten on the block and it was a tight fit with the shifter clearing the cutout in the firewall and the pan clearing the radiator support but we got it in. It went in on the first try. The tranny tunnel needs to be trimmed a little more but it does not hit. The bolts went into the motor mounts with no problems and we have pan clearance at the crossmember and rack.
