Got the engine & transaxle into the car, bolted up at the back, and ready to fabricate a few minor parts to make the new forward crossmember mate to the body. The forward crossmember was bought from Speedway Motors in Lincoln Nebraska for a grand total of $58 to my door (http://www.speedwaymotors.com/). The crossmember clears the shift linkage just fine.

Guy, It defintely flexs but not as bad as I thought it might. I can still close the lid from either side and it closes all the way down on the bumpers/stops/rubber thingies just fine fine from either side of the car. The K&N plenums are ridiculously over priced but it seemed to be about my only option, and not that great of one at that. Cutting the cross brace defintely provides more room. There is a ver low profile air cleaner that uses two filter elements, one off to each side (see picture below) available from Speedway Motors http://www.speedwaymotors.com/SearchResult...rd=air+cleaners but it sells for $229 and shipping. I've seen one on a 914 SB Chevy conversion here locally. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif) about avoiding cutting. I'm still looking for other options. Cutting will be the last thing I do. The front bumper is still as delivered from GT Racing. I haven't cut the hole in it yet. That's my next step in this project after I get the Auto Meter gauges in (tomorrow night hopefully) and the interior put back together. I'll post photos here once I get the bumper installed.
