your better off adding a full frame clip in the front. Camaro or something like that. if your wanting to get the ford engine to lay down deep in the frame, use a ford car clip.

i was wanting to keep the v-10and stockfloor it jsut concerned about gear box issues and such

Im planning on using a duramax dually front clip. The motormounts will need to be changed and Im planning on using all the chevy steering. I will need to build a new link to the chevy gear box and adapt the hydraboost somehow.

new motor mounts and work with the chevy steering, shouldnt be to dificult. its gota be better than dealling with i beams, just a thought.

yea that is what i am thinking but now should i find a non dually rear axle to keep the same bolt pattern?

I would use the axle that matches the front setup. On mine Im using adapters for the semi wheels so Im just gonna get the front ones for a chevy and the rear axle will be my dana 80 with the ford pattern.
