05' Nissan Titan 5.9 Cummins
#101
The factory mounts were removed and the inside of the frame was plated with 1/4" x 4" flat bar. The motor mouts were made with the same 4" and I used the rubber mounts that were on the cummins already. As for the transmission I cut the factory transmission mount on each end and attached the factory ends to a piece of 2"x2" 1/4" wall square tubing. It is removable incase the tranny needs to come out. Which it will be coming out to install a new dual disk clutch kit!

The truck has a 3" body lift so It can fit under the wiper screen. Also 99% sure your not going to fit that motor in the Titan without doing a solid axle swap cause' the frame crossmember on the lower a arms will hit the oil pan. Even if that clears I wouldn't trust the lower a-arms and unit hubs to hold up very long to the added weight. There is about 600LBS of extra weight just in the motor vs the Titan all aluminum VK56.

I ran the ford axles for two reasons, I wanted the D60 High Pinion in the front and I love unit hubs, everyone else hates them but they are easy to change! I didn't go with the Dodge axles because I dont like the CAD axles and I wanted manual locking hubs. With 12" of lift it's good to not have the front d-shaft spinning all the time!

thats good thinking, im not going to have that much lift. i guess the 3" body lift for sure so i can fit the motor but i would prob only go 2 more inches in the front and thats about it. i plan on hauling a gooseneck so i cant go very high. how long did this whole project take you?
