As of right now I have not and didnt plan on stretching the frame, I am planning on reenforcing the front frame rails and mounting the front axle right under the original tube crossmember. as i can see the engine is sitting just and 1" over the tube member and about 4" past it but thats all pulleys. If i need to for comfor i'll notch it out or maybe "V" it the give more clearence but i like where the engine sits i think it'll keep nose weight down with the c6-and np205 helping push weight back. but that front dana 44 is a heavy girl. This is really alot of thinking drinking and looking as i go to see what works and what comes up. as for the steering i think i am gonna have to use a few joints and run it between the the block and the headers lots of fabing as i go if you cant tell. But thats part of the fun right?
