What engine mounts did you use? Looks like you kept the stock perches but maybe used some kind of adapter plates?
thank you!

I used the stainless steel lines from Inline Tube. If I had to do it again, I would have used the steel lines. I had to make custom lines for my rear axle and I couldn't get the 3/16" stainless to consistently flare. That's good to know it takes some tightening to seal.

I used the stock small block pedestals with energy suspension poly mounts. I just used some cheap adapter plates I bought on amazon. They are 3/8" thick.
