Really big day today!!!
Bolted the engine and trans together, and put the SS fenderwell headers on the engine, and lowered it into the chassis!
Got some measurements and used the 2" box tubing to fabricate motor mounts. Cut it down at a 45 degree where I welded it to the steel sleeve that bolts to the motor mount, and then tacked it good to the frame. Need to pull the headers to finish welding the motor mounts in.
I was going to just block up the tranny since I had no rubber mount, but ran to the chain store and they actually had a mount! So I built the trans mount too, but didn't get it drilled and bolted to the frame rails. Just too pooped to go further today.
Had to cut the bottom of the center tube open as the mount had a stud and needed access to get to it for a nut and washer.
