Nice design work! The fuel pump needs to come off to get to the engine mount bolt.

Frame extension weighs 5lb. 9oz.
Cross member weighs 6lb. 15oz.
Stock cross member weighs 14lb.
Not a huge weight savings, but  clearance for the exhaust system is great.

This is my brother's engine....396, numbers matching to his '67 El Camino. He was good enough to 'loan' it to me when my 454 turned out to be unusable as it was.
