subframe positioning

I decided to try and use the original subframe by cutting the middle out.  to clear the trans:


I plan to clean this up, and weld some plate onto the open section to put the stiffness back.  I think I will also add a piece of square tube to tie the left and right together again.  This tube will connect at the furthest forward point on the subframe (right side in the image above).  It will go through the high area in the sump and hold the rack.  It will be hard to squeeze the exhaust through.  It was hard to get a good picture, but see below.  Probably good that I am figuring this all out now before the engine frame is done and the engine position is totally locked.
