Love the direction you are going with the build, i'am curious as to why you are installing a new engine crossmember and not using the orginial?

What are your plans for the under hood wiring harness for the new motor?

Keep up the good work.

There are some issues with crossmembers on the LIFTED 4X4 trucks causing motor mount and crossmember problems.
