It's looking really good guys! Can I get more info on how you did your crossmember? Looks really clean, not chopped and whacked, then patched back up. I like it.
One friendly suggestion, since you're using a rubber hose to extend the trans cooler rear line. Double clamp each end, and 180* the worm gears(pinch-point). You'll get more clamping force, and it's also less likely to leak. Remember, you're gonna have 200-ish psi running thru there.

The crossmember is just the 1999 style.I did not modify it at all but I did slide it back on the frame and drill new holes.Also in the pic you can see the extensions I had to add to meet the other brackets that used to lay on top of the crossmember.
Thanks for the advice with the hose.I doubled flared the ends of the metal tube also.

Very nice looking Install guys!
I like that 99' crossmember.
Very clean truck underneath also!
I think you will like that tighter stall, mines a 2600 and i launch smooth, especially with the 80e first gear.
Ahhhhh piece of mind now huh.

That trans and converter is dead sexy Russ! Looking forward to seeing how you like it! Seems like Circle-D Chris worked really "closely" with you to build the perfect converter for your needs, I'm sure that you'll be stoked with the outcome
