Tecky, I've done this once or twice. Getting the engine right where you want it is usually half of the battle. I had to move mine a few times. Wrestling these heavy things can be a pain, but worth it in the end.

I plan on building a plate with a brace that extends to my front cross member to help support that area. I'll post pics when I get that far.

Today I welded up the LH engine mount. I have to make a few more cuts and drill a hole and it should be done. I'll post pics tomorrow.
