Never understood that either.. 
Anyway, more progress tonight.. the engine is back mounted to the frame again, and got the transmission crossmember frame-side brackets cut, drilled, and rough-shaped. grind 'em smooth, weld 'em on, and I'm back in bidness... 
I just keep telling myself it's an improvement... 
The welds on this came out rather nicely I thought..
