Even though the bearing carrier is weak cast aluminum designed to break away (which it did), it still managed to mangle the sheet metal and the threaded inserts. They were definitely compromised so I decided to weld a couple pieces of 16 gauge to beef it up. Should be stronger now than ever. With the motor drop it makes sense to drop the center bearing 1/16". Or maybe I should say it can't hurt...
Spot welded the shit out of it.
Dressed up the spot welds. Doesn't need to be pretty.
Painted up like it never happened.
For perspective.

Just wondering Micheal, Due to lowering the engine/trans did youy have to modify the height of the mount of the driveshaft carrier bearing?
