Before I placed the engine in it, I lifted one side of the axle with the floor jack to get the tires on the front axle, and with the IFS crossmember removed, the frame flexed like you would not believe

Plans are to have 1/4" plating on the inside of the framerails where the engine mounts/cradle mount to distribute weight and stiffen that portion of the frame, have a removable cradle/crossmember under the bellhousing and have the transmission crossmember for a total of 3 crossmembers in about 40" space

. There will also be more frame extension/stiffening done in the rear, as well as a new front bumper and a cage that ties in with the frame (possibly going to the front corners to aid in stiffening). Should be pretty sturdy when I get done
