Re: 86 Silverado K20 12V CUMMINS Build

So it's like 40`c in the Garage. It's hotter than Might as well keep going on this build thread.
I pulled the motor back out and started on the front xmember.





I cut out the clearance trying to stay as smooth and even as possible.





Put the engine back into place to check. Looks good but not enough. (better than too much) I will need to cut more.








No, all that weight is still on the hoist !

Take 2.


Back to the motor mounts. They need to be re-inforced. I used some 1" angle on the inside and more 4" plate top and bottom. Then an additional angle on the top.





















The bracket still needs more welding but you can get the idea.
The other side the about the same. You can see the supports a little better before this side gets welded.







Stay tuned......
