I was at it all day.. ensuring EVERYTHING was even... level... centered.. you name it..
The motor mounts are fabbed, but ran into a slight problem with the steering shaft.. it intersects the driver mount I used the 360 mounts with the center of the 4 slots cut away, 1/4" plate with caddy pattern welded to the top of it.. then had to space it out 3/16" on each side off the framerails... not too bad... I would like to thank Pete ( CrazyJeepman) for all the help and assistance he had provided me on this along the way... I was able to retain the heater core with no mods.. this is due to the 3" bodylift... WHEW!!! The HB unit clears with ease.... Well.. I overcame the steering issues.. DONE!!! Here are some pics of the modified mount and after install, betore paint. I used 1/4" thick tubing and channeled the mount. PERFECT FIT!! And more progress on the cleanup... its a dark photo.. but you can get the idea... before with the AMC 360 out...FOR GOOD after
