The story

Last destination (perhaps) for the 5.0. Body lifted 3 inches makes things tremendously easier. I could NOT for some reason get the oil pan far enough off the engine crossmember to feel comfortable with so all mounts are lifted 1 inch with aluminum square tube. I have questions as to it's durability so it will probably be swapped out when it is actually drive-able with steel. — Dave Beverly
