[QUOTE=davidb1;5749356]That looks great!

Can you describe what you did for motor mounts?

The Truck Shop "truckandcarshop.com" in Orange cal. Has a tubular set, that bolt to the same holes in the frame. You can choose to mount in forward or in the stock location. Either way you are going to have to deal with lengthening the drive shaft. I had to shave a little on the side weld was to big for the motor mount. I called to report it issue to the company. Who knows if it will go anywhere. They were power coated and I sealed the grind it with some Black POR15.
If you have a V8 you can use your same set, but I wanted to upgrade to the newer style motor mount.
