Thanks got a lot of work to do yet but I see a light at the end of the tunnel just need more time to work on it.

Just mocking up a motor to figure out how I will make my motor mounts but it kinda gives a idea of what it will look like

Made motor mounts tomorrow I will make the trans cross member and trans mount and start boxing and cross bracing the frame.

So you didn't think the 4x4s would hold the stress or what?? Big enough lag bolts and I think you would have been just fine!

I could have built a new frame cheaper and faster than using the original but I just get these ideas in my head and I do what I do.

Nothing wrong with that.

I know that alot of people advise aganst using a T frame for various reasons including the age factor. But then they turn around and use an A frame which maybe all of a year or two younger[S
Looking good. Keep at it.

Only reason I felt comfortable modifying the original was the fact that it is 3/16 thick with no deep pitting or rot. I am going to weld a x frame into it out of thick wall inch and a quarter roll cage tubing and box it in. Thank you guys for the kind words I am new to this old of stuff I have been building muscle cars and pro street cars until I got this.
