Yes you could, I wanted to see if it could be done with the V6 Brackets. I also think it's easier for others to follow if they don't have to cut and weld frame items, cut and modify a bracket yes.

The other issue, I feel with moving the frame mount(plate that's welded to the Cross member) back is header clearance.
