Well my engine mounts finally showed up ...so today was all about getting the engine supported by something besides the cherry picker...
I boxed the frame in the section where the engine mounts are and further forward to the point where the steering box will mount...so I duplicated the same thing on the pass side..I used 1-3/4 dom tube for the main supports...this will later get gusseted and a cross frame brace when I get the steering done...in the 1st pic you can see where i had to bend the support on the driver side to clear the headers...
