    its still pretty close in your pics. depending on how much flex your motor mounts have and how hard you run it(fwd-R-fwd-R-fwd-R-fwd in a mudhole), you may want to give it a little more room.

    i wish i had seen the bowers bracket before i bought mine..

    Yesterday, i worked on the wiring. The original ECM is behind the glove box in the truck and the engine wiring comes in through the firewall just under the coolant reservoir. I cut all the original sensors off at the firewall and connected the harness to the engine and tranny. Also ran the wires for the 4wheel drive components. Plan on splicing the wires that go inside the passenger compartment into the wires coming out of the firewall next week. I go back to work tomorrow and won't have a chance to work on it till next tues. I was going to spend a little time on it today but my buddy came up with tickets to the Dallas Stars game. Gotta hate diversions. LOL So, my baby sits till next week after I get off of work from the rig. Be back soon.

    I've given that some thought and yes it is very close. Once I get the engine running I'm going to see how much movement I have and plan accordingly. More than likely I will cut and move the sub frame support for a little more clearance.

    I think I'm going to simply cut that sub frame brace and weld it a little further forward. I believe that will give me the clearance I need and maintain the strength, if any, it adds.
