Thanks Bro. I have some pictures of the area where I notched the frame on the first page of this thread. I'll take some more this weekend.

As for the plates. I toke some cardboard stuck it to the block traced out the plate. Married it up to the motor mount, then cut it out with a plasma, drille the holes and bolted it all back up. For the other side I just flipped the templete. Pretty easy. I used a 1/4 inch steel plate. Hense the need for the plasma cutter.

Thanks every everyone for the help and congrats. This swap would be alot harder with out this forum!
