Hey guys, Read the link below from Lateral G
http://www.lateral-g.net/tech_articles/DSE_coilover_install/

Questions being however, Does the engine have to be removed to install the fixture on the cross member or can it slide in without removal. Standard 350 Small block BTW

Thanks again, and if anyone have the actual isntructions online from DSE that would me stellar

The bracket bolts to where the engine frame stands are, engine removal is a requirement.

Complete removal. I also think it would be a PITA to do this with the fenders etc installed. Take a look here:

What do you mean???

That brace is only a fixturing jig. Once the brackets themselves are welded to the subframe, the brace comes out.
