Made a little progress. Made a motor plate and got that tacked in. I needed to set the motor where I wanted it, next I plan on building the "sub frame" for the lower control arms. I think I am getting things figured out. I know I am 7" back from where my old motor was. And I had my old motor 2-3 inches back. So I'll call it 10" set back. Unsure on the height but the engine is very low in the chassis. I think I should be ok with pan clearance, but I have already explored some options of making a pan about 1-1.5" shorter if I need.
I'll have front and rear plates, as well as a tranny mount..
