You kept the motor high enough and centered again using a factory crossmember (scalping the top of the stands kept the height). Your motor mount arrangement looks comparable in height to a factory clam shell style (which could be measured). FYI, my 84 K35 engine crossmember was centered in the frame. Any offset side to side would be built into the stands I believe.

Yeah I was hoping to not have to put the cab on but probably the best. I looked at dwilbers and wasted incomes builds both have there engines in different places. Actually wasted incomes is farther forward and DWilbers is back a little ( I think) I went off the pictures referencing the holes in the frame which I believe are in the same place on all 4x4 frames. With the current stands and TC crossmembers my engine/trans is at 4* down.
Thanks for the help guys
