With the cab now in place it was time set the engine/trans in the final location. I took the original motor mount stands, cut them up, mounted them back to the engine and tacked 2"X2" stands under them, after having stands in place I mounted the stands to a 2"X2" cross member.





After having a cross member complete I built 2 mount plates for the outside of the frame. With the engine in it's final location and at proper angle I welding the cross member inside these plates. I did end up setting the engine/trans 1 inch to the passenger side, on the original '03 it was also offset and by doing this I will be able to center the trans mount in the raise of the old carrier support cross member. I was also able to raise the engine another inch under the cabl giving me a total of 8 inches of clearance from pan to pavement.


This of course created one more issue: clearance for the water neck. Remove, cut, weld.
