thanks Tim - that helps splain it a lot.
Ok, so I haven't had a 67-72 in over 20 yrs... When it says "move the engine fwd 2" " that seems easier said than done, even if the stock 4x4 350 is mounted further aft than normal. what exactly is getting moved fwd on the crossmember? The thread made it sound like the whole crossmember is being moved fwd... which does not make sense to me. Can someone break this down to a "Moving the engine forward 2" for Dummies" answer? (thanks!)
