this.. makes sense. over engineer EVERYTHING!!

Though I will be getting rid of basically every emissions component on the car. Minus a cat as I need one for CT emissions testing through 2018. (25 year exemption)

I did some more measuring.. I really hope the oil pan clears the steering linkage. I know I'll have to notch the factory crossmember for sure. (note: cut out the center section), but I wasnt counting or expecting it to be held so high up.. so.. kind of a bump in the road. well see.

PLanning on going out tonight and doing some more work on it, hopefully get the motor/trans out.

While I have a moderate amount of attention: what do yall think the m104 and trans are worth? I have no idea which trans it is, it is a 3.2L m104. 167k on it.
