trick of the camera to make it look kinda like it is sitting on the ground. (with a tilt...or rake)

foot well test...its actually a little tight. To be honest this whole interior is a ton smaller than it use to be.

Keep in mind the floors are up about 2 inches to make the pan flat, interior is now full of transmission and engine. that are also up a few inches (compared to original location)

I need to invest in a vacuum chamber to help draw out the bubbles created when mixing the components together.

It appears that you have to let the mix thicken slightly before poring. Too soon and it leaks out the bottom.

building the lower mounts for the tie bar, or the front mounts for the sub frame. The fun was to make them look like there welded to the sub frame. 16mm bolt from the back. (just enough clearance for a short socket and ratchet before hitting the oil pan.

Wife watches to much Road kill, and road kill garage. She wanted a hood list. I told her there is not enough hood for my list...my list is easy...1 word (EVERYTHING) So we came up with a compromise... Bets on this number before completion?

Tie bar designed to keep both front rails from moving from side to side, But still has clearance to remove the motor out the top.

Same thing on the driver side. If you look close the rail on the bottom of the picture is not tacked to the frame. That is part of the bolt in sub frame

Cleaned up the frame rails around the exhaust. (it is a ugly dance of foot well room and exhaust clearance)

This is the transmission 1/2 of the transmission mount. It is a solid mount that bolts to the tail housing and has tabs that the exhaust pipes can bolt to as well. A suspended loop over the top will house the bushings and suspend the transmission instead of the transmission sitting on a crossmember.

Frame mount is sweat the flat plate lets the bolt of the mount just sit close and when it finally lines up the motor litterly drops in place

The vertical bars also act as a truss for the upper and lower front frame rails. There intentionally narrow about a 1/4 inch so they can be shimmed out for alignment. Or set for huge camber.
