Removed the old engine mount plates and made new frame mounts.
The spit lcap brkts are offset for caster. I drilled the frame to accept the fwd brkt in the rear position to raise the lcaps to match my susp design. I'll have to make new brkts for the rear since the lcaps are 1/2 inch higher due to the higher outer pivot/lbj on the rear. Tried to duplicate the front geo on the rear but with a slightly higher rc.
Not quite finished on vsusp and still need to fine tune the track.
http://vsusp.com/?tool=2d#0.8%26project ... _camber%7DThe new pump is 2 inches shorter. still waiting on pulleys. Note the diff in impellers.
Cut out the old rack mounts and cleaned up the rails. Notice there are no lateral tubes between the lcaps so I am welding in a 2x3 at the front near where the rack was and adding a 4 bolt 1x3 below the rails engine near the mounts. The engine mounts are arranged this way to clear the lcap brkt stud through the frame. still need to add gussets fwd of horns.
