Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3

C4 home made cross member all tacked in, upper and lower control arms installed, a piece of square tubing for struts for now. Made a front motor mount for my 235, mine doesn't have side mounts, I have front corner mounts. Set the motor in the frame with the new cross member and motor mount, found out rack is not going to have room to clear the oil pan, not just the lines but the main body of the rack won't clear the pan. After a sit a stare at it with a cold brew and having visions of cutting and modifying the pan I decided there might not be room inside, was looking like it might be close. Decided raising the motor an inch or so might make it work if I reclocked the lines, cut out the tacked in motor mount, made some blocks for the back of the motor, raised it up and it looks like it will clear now. Trying to avoid the "fix one problem and create 2 more" deal I have a habit of doing. Gotta get the picture deal figured out, keeps saying My iphone pics are to big.
