I would feel the bushings should be bigger! Your talking about alot of torque!

Buying them from Autoworld of MT is cheap insurance IMO. If you can't afford to spend the $400 on a high quality product that is proven than possible this swap isn't for you...

I made my own mounts for my cummins to ford swap...it took alot more time than expecting and wasen't really worth all the cutting,welding,measuring and doing it all over again theme. Next swap im just buying the adapter plates from destroked & will buy the pre fabbed mounts from autoworld of MT. fordcummins.com copied everything he has/had from autoworld. Can't beat dawna and kent's customer service @ autoworld

I used the factory Cummins bushings and built my own mounts out of 1/2" angle and flat bar, so far no problems. Mine sit on top of the frame.
