Good reference information.
As I said, the crossmember clears one direction for the Muncie. Which is also quite a bit farther forward. It clears the 400 if flipped around. I'm using what I believe to be the most rearward hole in the frame for the front hole in the bracket. I have another hole added for the rear bracket bolt (Which is on the stepped down part of the frame).
I cleaned up my factory crossmember and painted it. Bought some new, nice, clean, plated, brackets for the rubber booties. This will suffice until I get a Chevy crossmember at a decent price.
It looks like I will have to shim the rear of the trans up quite a bit. Also get adjustable upper rear control arms for the rear. This is to get acceptable angles with the LS engine with 400 trans.
I'll add some pics when I get a chance (Worth a thousand words).
Please refrain from attempting to turn this into a design debate.
Thanks!
