I should have said determined rather then holding out.
I did cut out the alum cross member and replaced it with the RCR supplied moveable steel one. Although I did move motor forward a bit, the PFADT poly mounts are virtually the same height as the alum uprights. Engine height/angle remains the same.
Fran, although you said this whole poly mount idea really wasn't necessary, I can't tell you how grateful I am for your support and encouragement. Your continued involvement in our builds is a value added service that is rarely mentioned. You have a true advocate here in Florida.
Now, if you can pull off the center lock program, I will kiss you ass on Groesbeck and 15th. (no french kissing).
