More progress. Finished fabbing motor mounts, so that's another item off the list. The block portion are Scott's pieces, the frame portion mine, 1/4" mild, will be welded to the frame. Currently waiting on a poly mount for the 4L60 then I'll whip up a crossmember. Header fab, steering column, bed mounts, e.t.c after that. And for those that were curious on engine position, here's where we're ended up. Front of the crank pulley is behind the rack, where I wanted. I'd like it a little lower, but this gives about 6" from the oil pan to the ground. Set the angle at 2.5 degrees. Thanks for looking -

More later -
