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 .... so I channeled it... its not done yet, but will be tomorrow.. the mount.. not the install..

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

Thats bad ***, cant we to see the finished product. YOu have bigger springs, or shackles up front to compensate for that caddy 500 weight?

Thanks....

Believe it or not.. the 500 that is going in weighs under 80 lbs more than the 360 I ditched for it... I will be fine... plus I m still playing with the suspension to get it just right for me.. trying to keep a good COG with 36-37" meat which is around 2" lower than I am right now..

and the Revolvers are coming off... not chancing anything.. two of my friends have rolled with them on thier FSJ's...
