Ok Over the weekend i got the flywheel housing and set the motor and trans in for a fit .I set the cab down to see where i needed the mounts to go its a little tight for the 9 speed i drop the motor down about 3" further than it should be to get the trans to not hit on the floor board .

Well i got the motor mounts figured out i needed to lower the motor down another 1" further than what i had it set at.so i made some adapters out of 1/2" and put then between the block and the mounts and it raised my mounts up 2". and I also made a new crossover tube under the motor.And I made the air bag plates and mounted then on the springs now i need to finish the top of the bags.

Hey Fabman,

Where did you locate your trans and adapters.. I'm planning on a 13 spd behind my 12 valve...
Your project's looking great

Hey thanks I bought the trans from a guy on ebay he is in northern indiana its been rebuilt with a .73 overdrive he even put a #2 bellhousing on it for me he said they are a little hard to find the adapter i bought from ebay just look for a #2 adapter preferably one with a drivers side starter that way you have more room for the exhaust.
