crossmember is in....

got work done.... getrag fits perfectly without cutting the tranny ears... also got the crossmember tacked in.... placing the motor in and trying to correctly place the chassis correctly but yah.... my 3 ton ram jack bursted... well, not really, but as i jacking up the engine, it the jack was rubbing the front core support and it ripped off this small rubber cap and oil began to pour out.... so i trashed it and got a new 8 ton ram jack so i can lift a longer crane.... while i was at harbor frieght in pasadena, I also got engine stand so i can do the valve seals and head gasket.... so after all that, i placed the engine where i felt comfratble and marked it.... took out the engine.... used a floor jack to hold the cross member in place and taked it in.... after that... i got bored and wanted to see if the getrag would fit in the tunnel without changing teh "tranny ears"... well, got lucky and it fit tightly.... i did a lil more stich welding in places playing with the voltage and wire speed on the mig and played with it.... welded in the lower intercooler mounts.... i think thats all....

getrag slammed all the way up sits way higher than the frame rails....



different angle...



fits nicely....
