    Finally found time to mock motor and transmission, Happy with results/space. It works I can see the advantages of the aftermarket oil pan however I’m not thinking I will need it. Now time to take apart and clean up and weld up ! Ps, when you take the intake off of the 7.3 … it’s special

    Factory frame has not been altered however, it will be in this location for the front sway bar ( will be a Radius,mouse hole ) however it may be substantial on one side for sway bar replacement. This is also the level the subframe was cut/lopped/leveled too.

    Whoa! Market place for the win! 2020 GT ! What’s hard to believe for me is a late model weighs more than the 71 and is a half inch shorter! Track width is about 3/4 inch wider? on late model.( I do not have cheat sheet in front of me )
