Going to use LQ9 and 4L 80 trans , stock height. Anyone have motor mount and trans mount cross member ideas? Pictures would be great. Thanks

I just spent 2 days screwing around making an engine cross member for an LM7 (5.3) and 6L60E. Pay close attention to the clearance between the bottom of the cross member and the front diff. I looked at some of the aftermarket ones that are available, and I don't believe they will give enough clearance when going off-road.
As far as the transmission cross member, try and use the original.
