From what I heard and what I have seen the crossmember is going to be cut. I even have the manual on the swap but if I post there pics I would infrige copyright laws. LOL!

yep, turns out I gotta notch that crossmember... Hate being wrong lol.
But, its no big deal to cut that out and weld in some bracing.

Ya it does not look too bad just put some metal plates on the back of it to beef it. Then if you doing a/c going to notch out I thihk the pass side frame. Like inch and half.

Unless you mod the oilpan,which cuts down on oil capacity of coarse but it has been done.You just need to find someone good at welding aluminum (prone to leak oil)

what type of heads are you running? I didnt notice it in your mod list. Want to do the swap but thinking of ported ls1 heads. If i do so will it be a direct bolt on or is there machine work involved?
