    I got 834k on the clock. Looked at lots of options but went with a Cummins ReCon.

    Do you guys usually take this cross member out with the engine? Seems like it should come out but don't know.

    Thank you. It's not bolted in like a normal crossmember. It has like a subframe and no huck bolts there so I thought maybe. This is the first semi I have ever done. Lots of cars, pickups, boats and off-road cars.

    What's the plan for the old block? Rebuild and save, or was there a core charge?
