Any thoughts about "rerouting" that crossmember? I have an engine with a different oil sump configuration. Initial plan of attack is cutting the crossmember to clear the pan, then welding in a brace to go around the sump, can do it so the brace goes both fore and aft of the sump. Something like an "O" instead of a "C"...

What else is welded on the crossmember? Are any of the control arms mounted to it?
