I thought you needed to purchase premium services to view the high-res images, though anyone can view the regular images. Hmmm. Maybe you have to sign-up to Yahoo to view them???

 

Looks like it's time to get a better Pay service. Any suggestions?

BEAUTY! 2thumbs.gif

 

thats what i was thinking of.. this is what Mike made right (Mike D that is) ...

 

all i would have changed is made the end plate longer to spread the load out more..... those Z rails are thin.......

 

but- u still used 2 different brands of headers right? i need it to work with out of the box headers....

 

nice job done on the x-member does look good!

Mostly I used the other header because of the steering shaft...the stock steering shaft would be lower and wouldn't cause the same problem. the stock shaft is like 3/8" thick (about) and mine's around 1" (sliding sleeve)....plus the rack end is longer so it's like 2" higher...

I would guess that the block huggers would work....especially if you offset the engine 3/4" like in JTR. Mine's dead center. Plus there is a bit of room to lower it (maybe 1/4").

The reason I like this design is all the weight is on the top of the rail pushing down, and a 4"x2" surface is going to hold a lot better than 2 bolts taking all the stress. This literally is drop in, drill 4 holes, bolt in.

I'll have more pics soon, looking for the other roll I forgot to bring to have processed. Man, I gotta get a digital!

hmmm i really wonder if it will clear the block huggers as is... adding a heim to the steering shaft isnt a big deal as long as the headers miss the mounts and crap..

 

guess its time to give him a call and see how his coilover install went!

 

get a digital camera man! twak.gif join the 90's.. waaait a minute we arent in the90's anymore ugg.gif

Yuppers, if I were to ever do this again I think I'd go the crossmember route.

 

Did MikeBotiz weld that up for you AL? That is beautiful! I can't wait to see it in the car. 2thumbs.gif

Mike, I made the headers (Hooker Block huggers) fit the mounts. Still too labor intensive for mass production. :(
