Okay, finished the rear 4 link, connected the cross bar (panhard bar) and torqued everything down and setup the pinion angle at 2.5 degrees for now and now moving on to the engine. I got this 5.3 out of a 2001 Silverado 1500 with just over 100,000 miles on it. I decided to make my own engine mount in a form of a cross member and this is the prototype to be sure I got the engine situated right where I want it. I like to sue clamshell motor mount since I can get them from anywhere and they are fairly easy to replace although I plan to sue energy suspension solid mount. Besides, I thought making the crossmember gives me the flexibility of the moving the drivetrain back and forth as I may want to, in addition, it may provide additional rigidity support for the frame since I had to remove rear inline 6 crossmember. I am hoping to get a tube bender to make a nice tubular version before I get the truck running. We'll see if Santa is nice to ne this year
