I would probably add some more metal above those notches. That took a lot of the bending strength out of that frame.

The Front end is a Jag, The rear end is stock Dana. With the 5 speed I think the rear end will be fine.

Right on. I'm trying to fit a 05 crown vic front and rear under mine. Did you change the gears in your rear end? I have a friend running a 302 with a c6 and he said the gears are really low. Just food for thought.

I think with the 5 speed it shouldn't be to bad. We will see when finished.
If it is to low no problem to up grade.
