The new crossmember is notched so it’s welded inside the rails and underneath like you mentioned. It was the new plates that strengthened what was left of the frame and gave me a good surface for attaching the cross rail for the motor mounts

Thanks for the info! And I saw your headers, I'm guessing you custom made those yourself? I was thinking about trying to find SBC fenderwell headers and cutting the flange off, then bending the tubes and tweaking them to work with a 400 flange. Since I don't have the patience or skills to do a whole custom header myself.
