Re: new to the forum need help
I think you need to get those fixed. And start from scratch.

Re: new to the forum need help
I agree that welding up all those holes an grinding smooth would be the best place to start. As for the position of the '67-'72 small block engine mount brackets, that will be determined partly by the trans being used. If you are keeping the manual trans along with the crossmember mounted bellhousing, that will determine the location of the engine. If you are going with an auto trans, you want the engine as far back as possible for weight distribution but still have firewall clearance for the distributor and valve covers.

Re: new to the forum need help
I assume you are fabbing your own trans crossmember? Just be sure to get your trans output shaft parallel to the pinion.
