I did the first time I had the motor in, and know that I am going to have to shim it. Everything is still in the mocked-up stage. I need to get the front suspension on then I'll start deciding on what all my final angles will be. Right now the motor and trans are fitting it looks like the frame will be +3 and motor will be -3, but I would like to get both closer to level. The limitation I am running into is the driveshaft clearing the cross member. I am going to move the cross member to the top of the frame rails to gain another 1/2 clearance, and am thinking about going through the trouble of making my own motor mounts. What I really need is someone to cut me some motor mounts that drop the motor about an inch. Are you cutting everything with a waterjet? What format do you need the CAD files in?
