I got the cab mounts bolted on and put the cab back on to see where the motor sits. I decided I wanted to move it back around 4 inches. Since I already plan to redo the firewall, it wont' matter that the stock firewall would not clear. Once I knew where I wanted the motor, I pulled the cab back off.

Today I started on the motor mounts. I decided that it would be easier to start over and make my own. The sides are not the same due to having to have clearance for the steering. I have the mounts tacked in place. This weekend, I will pull the motor out and finish welding the mounts. Once welded, I will try to make some more progress on the center bracing for the frame.
