I have the front end in and started mocking up the motor mounts before quitting time. This is how it looks now.
The first thing to go, as I make space for the motor, is the steering brace. I'll have to find another way of bracing the box but in the meantime the stock brace is gone. The other 2 cross braces are still in place.
As I set it up for the motor mount/crossmember, it looks like it will end up about 2" above the top of the frame rails. I'll have to make some brackets for the upper 2 bolts o the crossmember. This is the one thing I'd like to see in another M715, just to see how high and where exactly others have mounted this. Any thoughts? Anyone have any pics of this crossmember?
