I started on the engine compartment with the help of my friend Curt yesterday. Mocked up the new motor mounts, fixed the hole torched into the x-member for fuel pump clearance from the last bozo that was in here. (pic included) I used the Welder's Series part #WS2149 for motor mounts. So I ripped out the frame to engine insulator bracket to make room for the new frame brackets and tacked them in place after a thousand checks and rechecks. We didn't get finished with the gussets but i'll take some pictures when i get done. As far as fitting goes: The passenger side is cake; nothing in the way. But, the diver's side header needs to get notched slightly to keep far enough from the steering box. And if you go with an automatic, the column shifter linkage will be very close to the block.
