Not trying to be a jerk, or degrade your work, but, good luck with that front cross member. I wouldn't want to rely on 2 welds only supporting my 1200lb engine plus what ever weight of the tranny that rests there as well. I've seen a few of those dodge cross members crack, so keep an eye on it. On my 76 I didn't put a high hump in it and the only place I have clearance issues is right over my tcase. The tcase hits the floor support. I'm going to cut it out and redo it so I can keep the floor pan as close to stock heighth as I can. I used a 47RH/NP205 and 4" lift. No body lift. Keep at it man!
