Let's catch up.
I've been working on powertrain placement, setting how much to offset it behind the front suspension and side to side, settling on:
1-3/8" backset and 1/2" offset to the passenger side.
From there, it was time to start figuring out how to mount this assembly into the chassis.
The super offset Chris Alston Chassisworks mounts, mounted with the forward bias.
Set. Time to design and fab.
Removed the upper core support mount to ease ingress/egress of the powertrain.
After some revisions, here's the mount and cradle design.
Loosely assembled on the bench.
Mounts and overlays, all .110 mild steel.
Mocked up in my lumber yard of a Charger.
How all the plates stack.
The tradeoff is that it takes a lot of filler and argon, but it's a light and efficient and stiff design.
