Re: 87 Crew Cab 454/TH400 to Cummins/NV4500

So once everything was test fit with the transmission cross member and drive shaft in place I started fabricating motor mounts. I picked up 1/4 plate steel and a Lennox steel cutting blade for my circular saw. I came up with a design and CAD'd it up at work during breaks and lunches. I have access to CAD software at work. The first design centered around hanging the mount off the inside of the frame rail. after cutting one piece I decided to go back to the drawing board (err computer) and CAD'd up a second design that sat on the engine cross member ( not an option for 4x4's without replacing the crossmember). I have some pictures but none after they were deburred/welded/polished of surface rust/painted. Again I can get those and add them later but here are the pieces after cutting, then mocked up before deburring/welding.
