I set the motor and transmission in this week. I will likely be moving it back and possibly down a little bit so I will be making my own motor mounts, but I figure the mounts that I have will let me start mocking everything up for now.

I decided to call a local differential shop to see what could be done with my rear end due to the severe rust under the brackets that I cut off. I took it into AZ differential and for a decent price they replaced the housing with a decent used housing, replace all the seals and bearings, and swapped over all the parts. I got it back this week and got the rear suspension tack welded in place. I am leaving them tacked for now and will do the final welding later. I would like to get it on the ground with the body on it to figure out ride height before doing the final welding on all the brackets.
