Re: 67 Plain Jane C10 396 build

The V8 crossmember positions the engine closer to the front, placing the front of the engine in similar position as the front of the I6 engine. The six cylinder engine is longer, therefore the crossmember is set towards the rear about 4 inches for the 6 cylinder. The crossmembers mount where the frame starts to rise for the front suspension and that is why the V8 crossmember is different than the I6 crossmember.
