Is the stock looking part of the front cross member in the stock 109 frame front to rear location?
It appears that you have the frame engine mounts in place. How did you do that without trial fits?
New pictures beget new questions
Alaska Mike said:I'm curious about the frame beefing you did for your power steering. How thick was the plate you used? Hoe did you decide on the box positioning? Do the bolts run all the way through the frame, and if so, did you use some sort of tube spacer to keep the frame from compressing? As soon as my frame arrives I'm looking at the same mod, so any help you can give me would be appreciated.

Thats the first Stage I frame I've seen. How did they strengthen it to eliminate the under bulkhead cross member?
Could the engine swap work with the under the bulkhead cross member in place?
Any chance of detail shots looking down between the right side of the engine and frame, including one showing clearance of the transfercase front section? I'd like to oil pan to diff clearance if you don't mind taking a bunch of pictures.
Thanks
