Got the rear LCA mount made, pretty happy with it, having a little trouble figuring a sexy way to do the front mounts. My creativity is going to have to be coaxed along with cheap beer, a chair and some classic rock. Figure I will stare at it for an hour or so, and hope something pops into my head.

That's how some of my best ideas were created.

I noticed that you did NOT highlight "cheap" though Mr. Sutton!:lol:

That just means he comes up with more expensive ideas. When you swill the cheap stuff like me, everything revolves around duct tape.

Finishing up the rear mounts, Dailey dry sump allows me to run a tie bar across the two mounts, made it removable just in case I don't always have that engine. The bad part about the Dailey system is the oil pump hit the engine mount badly, so I had to cut it off of the frame. Next on the list is building a new passenger side mount, and engine bracket. I have a game plan for the fronts, we will see if it has the cool factor or not.

Sweet! More bars!

Looking good Ron. How long before a burnout video? Really looking forward to seeing it all together, as I'm sure you are too. Keep at in!

No ... life's too short for cheap beer. LOL

Motor set back in with dry sump pan and pump. Absolutely no room for a motor mount on the passenger side. I want it to be easy to get the motor in and out, Greg suggested a motor plate, but I feel like I'm to far along. I got an idea but we'll see how it works out. The adapter I made to fit the mismatched pan and pump worked out pretty good.
