If you cut up your crossmember like that - where is the front leaf spring going to mount? I can see one trimming the back side of the crossmember just a bit, but you can't cut much - or you have no place for the front spring to mount/sit on.
And if you trim the flange/lip off of the back side you should strengthen the cross member a bit . . . or run a modern flat Model A type cross member. Also, if you're running standard U-bolts, then you're even more limited to what you can do - they have to be where they came from the factory.
I'll take a couple pictures of my setup and post them - then everybody can see what needs to be considered. My setup if a stock 32 frame with a 42 Mercury flathead in the stock location (using 32 motor mounts and a 32 fan).
