Thinking about going 5.9
TrailBeast, do you have pictures of what you trimmed? It sounds like it was the torsion bar crossmember that runs from left to right rocker panels and ties into the front frame rails. I understand this is common on a A500 swap, but I am wondering if you reinforced after trimming ss most guys do? If cuda620 does not want to cut floor pans, he should probably stay away from structural crossmembers as well. I have not done an A500 swap personally, so I am curious.
