Here is the crossmember that ultimate customs built and that I am now making but I will always say it was his part. I will try and get a better pic in a few days.

I don't get it. That crossmember occupies the same space as the stock one. I don't know about the older 4.3s, but that would still interfere with the newer aluminum oil pans.

That's a V8 kit with relocated engine mounts. The V6 kit just has adapters for the stock mounts.

It's a flat plate that sits in the place of the old crossmember and the sides are turned up a little. How long ago did you get your kit from UC

v8mazda4ever, you know Loyd and the old guys from Ultimate? I grew up idolizing them, going to their shows and reading their articles in MT. I used to work for Brian before I got out of this business and I'm friends with Ian and George. What did you drive back then? Weird how shit works out.

lets see I met him when I took a set of sea-doos down for one of his customers to trade for a nissan hard body at that time I was driving a 1978 chevy fullsize short box lowered right down to the ground then a 1985 S-10 blazer static dropped and a 427 big block in it and then into the mazdas the first was a 1987 ext. cab painted aqua green with purple triangles all over it.
