Ok this is about where the engine will sit as the mounts i have will pickup the front crossmember wit just a small amount of box tubing and i will need to notch the crossmember about 1 inch for oilpan clearance i will be running a shorter oilpan as this is the truck version and is like about 9 inches deep versuse the 6 inch deep one i will be running the bellhousing flange is about 1 inch in front of the axle centerline

well i need to find the transmission again as that person canceld my buy on ebay and refunded my money as he did not want to ship it even though it gave a shipping price anddid not say for local pickup only . There are a places up north that has some but they are missing driver side jackshaft and the dualmass flywheel where the one i was trying to buy had all that and that is another $300 to $500 to buy seperatly so that kinda brings me back to the 8HP if i can't find a reasonable priced 0B1.

If it was me, I would wait for the right manual. You can mock up the engine and firewall clearance while waiting.

Looks like you are planning to run the LS4 balancer. You might want to install it before locking in the engine placement.
I would also drop the fuel tank before doing a lot of cutting in that area. I have seen a few fuel tanks with a crack on the inlet and vent nozzle.
That cross tube is also structural, so you might want to consider reinforcing it for the section removed.[This message has been edited by fieroguru (edited 12-13-2025).]

yes I need to remove the tank anyway as I am sure if there is any gas in it it is bad the car has not been on the road for over 10 years so it is a good idea to take it out and not sure how i will brace that up as i was not sure if it was structural so thank you for pointing that out what do you think some 1 x 2 across the bottom that i can bolt in after the fuel tank is in do you think that would do it ?
