what happened to this? lost in a stack of E. to answer your question- Yes. Just slightly. wait, did I say slightly? haha. The advantage of modifying the frame is 1) so the engine fits at all, and 2) so that the transmission fits at all, and 3) so that the engine sits low in the car. I cut partially through the center cross member in the engine cradle to fit the oil pan. And I moved the left side of the frame slightly more the left, so that the turbos would clear the frame. Then I (re)moved part of hte metal piece forward of the transmission becuase the g50 is longer (by about 6 inches!) The 915 or 930 would be a better choice, sizewise, but has only had 86% as many gears ;). If you're having a new SS fram made anyway, go to the guy with measurements and engine mounts, and see if you can get an frame made that would better suit your new engine/ transmission. Talk to Walt before you do anything about it anyways.
