I wasn't happy with how the engine sat in the chassis so we re positioned it and then I started building the engine mounting brackets.

Tomorrow I'll wrap up the LH engine mount. The energy suspension bushings don't fit worth a crap. They're extremely tight and in their instructions they tell you to trim to fit according to your mount. So I have to trim the ears some more so the bushings will stay in all the way so I can tack the upper portions of my mounting brackets other wise it will be a fight every time I want to install or remove it. Then I'll get on to the cross members.
