in chasis fab im going to be working on a new front crossmember and underbody brace for the front suspension. this will be rigid as hell and will not only protect the engine and oil pan, considerably stiffen up the chasis but will clear the 2.4L oil pan if you want to do a swap and/or keep the balance shafts. if anything, you'll just be able to have a larger oil pan and less fabrication. ill be making it out of chromoly steel as a project and will be professionally welded and will fit perfect.
if anyone is interested, i can make a jig and make a few if anyone wants one let me know. PM me.
