TCI IFS with Flathead motor mounts?

Site just won't let me do a search, sorry. I have a '51 F1, has anyone used a TCI MII IFS while retaining the flathead motor mounts? I'm ready to buy the IFS, but it sure looks like the two motor mount crossmembers attach to the frame at the same spot the TCI crossmember needs to go. ANy info appreciated. I have an email into TCI, waiting for response.

Thanks, Gary

I would get input from the tech support folks at TCI first. I have the MII IFS on my 50 F-1. I installed a 351W and had to go to a rear sump pan. I TCI mounts welded to the IFS boxing plates and had to go to a rear sump pan to fit. No way I could have fit in a tube xmember or similar. Check with Sal Solarzano, there GM to get assurance on fit.
