This is the subframe I made to make the 20B fit in my FD. You could drive a tank over it and I don't, well maybe It would bend.. but anyway I built it to take some power and also to reinforce the front frame rails since all the other 20B ones out there look pretty wussy. I also made it so when I make my aluminum oil pan I should be able to increase the oil capacity by an additional 2qts +

Make sure to run alot of gas on it. His welds were done using C02.I can weld like that with the welders at the shop I work for. Looks good dragon.Think theres enough welds on it yet?
