Looks like a clean start! Might as well spend a little and upgrade membership atleast for a year. Multiple post per day will be handy as you venture into this.

Talk about a sleeper.

Might want to rethink the LS1 manifold idea though.

Heck of a hole for oil pan clearance! Lots of restructuring to do though. Keep up the good work. You'll be roasting tires before you know it, LOL!

I cut out mine a bit wider more of a curve on the ends from center point on cross member ,just for added clearance and used 1/4" flat bar to box it in
