Re: moving motor and trans up????

Are you trying to move it skyward or forward toward the radiator?

Re: moving motor and trans up????

You could just use some longer bolts and spacers on the cradle. Sbc-ls? Why skyward?

Re: moving motor and trans up????

I used the lower part of a 4wd x-member and bolted it to the top rails. I have a th400 though but seems to be the right height. Looks like it leaves lots of room for exhaust too. Leaf rear end so no x-member for trailing arms. No body on frame yet either. Project "No Daggum Money"=leftover parts etc.
