Hello Chris
looking at the pictures of your engine it looks like it sits about 1" higher than mine. I'm using the dirty dingo mount. I called dirty dingo to see what headers fit and they did not have a straight answer. I called Dough Thorley and their tech said to fallow the instructions. The instructions only call out motor mounts for 2 wheel drive truck and the engine sits 1.5" higher in a 2 wheel drive truck do the cross member for the front suspension. I will order a set of Headman block huggers and give it a try. I found a NV4500 transmission and the hydraulic clutch is internal so I won't have to worry about the external one I was going to use with the SM465. Thanks for all the trial and error work you did it was a big help for me.
