Re: found a 500 caddy engine.

I did, and NO, it is not necessary, in fact its bad. I need to get back in there and box that area just for my own ease of mind. When I originally installed the cad motor, I had it too low, so we cut the frame back a bit to allow room for the exhaust manifolds. After everything settled into place, the engine was too low (all sorts of things rubbing, banging etc.). So I changed my motor mount plates and added double the steel to make them stronger at the same time, and raise everything back up where it shoudl be. Everything clears now, so dont cut the frame! =)
