I am doing a bag over axle setup on my 04 F150 with a parallel 4 link and panhard (for now) all so that I can still tow with it and I want to keep the stock gas tank and everything in it's place. I am using RE8s and will be getting the Bilstein shocks asap. What do you mean plate the notch? Are your C notches not fully boxed in? if not then yes, I would go ahead and do that, but I'm not sure what you mean. As far as the engine and tranny go, it really depends on what you have in it already. A stock FI 350 should be just fine depending on what's behind it (i.e. tranny and rearend). I have towed a 3k lb car with my 4.6L in my F150 just fine, I also bought an 18ft bayliner that it towed just fine as well.
