Replacing Transmission And Motor Mounts
Had To Remove The Oil Filter Adapter To Install Motor Mounts
Soaked In Dilluted Super Clean Degreaser - 5:1 With Water
Ready For Final Clean Up
Generic Motor Mounts
They will be replaced with the full Brown Dog kit when the motor comes out.
It Took A Bit Over 5 Quarts With The Large Oil Filter

Installing The Cav Fab Cross Member
Maybe Overkill On The Torque, But The Bolts Should Be Able To Handle It.
1/2" 13 Tap
20mm High Carbon Hole Saw
19mm would have worked a bit better.
Used The Crush Sleeve As A Guide
These holes had to be drilled up at an angle to clear the inner frame rail.
Cav Fab should really extend these brackets at least another 1/2"
Some Quick Undercoat And Paint
These will be welded in when the frame stiffeners go on.
I'm Not Quite Sure How I Ended Up With Two Washers On This Side....

Fixing The Tail Pipe
Was going to re-weld the old tail pipe, but ultimately decided that replacing it was the way to go.

This will soon be accompanied by a Borla 2.5" header, 2.5" Down Pipe, 2.5" Magnaflow Catalytic Converter, And A 2.5" Borla Turbo Muffler.
New Bracket To Keep It Clear Of The Leaf Springs
Quick And Dirty Bump Stop Spacers

Lift Installed
This is (hopefully) the last of the major work until next summer.
I'm still looking for a Dana 44 Rear Axle.
Also Looking Out For A Replacement Motor To Start A Stroker Build!
