thx in advance again
Some motor mounts may be in the way depending on motor location and the mounts used. I would guess that a guy who surgically sliced and diced on the OE crossmember could handle an engine mount mod if needed. This is your chance to make the truck better. Move the engine back, and keep it as low as you can (watch the oil pan vs. the scrub line)
