Almost finished up. Still have to get the GM swap pan in for final rack placement, but it is looking quite good. All made out of 1 5/8" chromoly.

Good luck on the project. I am doing a conversion on my 05 Subaru Legacy. There is some work to be done but it can be fabricated. For my use I selected the GTO Oil pan as it was the best fitting. I am waiting on some steel tube to come in so that I can finish the modified subframe. Would love to see pictures of your projects
