I needed to raise the Engine about 5/8" to get the Pan off the Crossmember.....Rather than mess around with Frame mounts and Motor mounts, I decided to make new motor mount adaptor plates......because the mounts are on an angle and I wanted to raise the engine, I had to figure out how much to move the rubber mount holes and how much thicker to make the plate to get everything to fall into place.....here are some pic's

Store bought plate in black......you can see how the 3 rubber mount holes are moved down and the plate is also thicker



New plate mounted to the engine......




Rubber mount installed......



Engine down on the mounts and the holes line up perfectly....Just slid the bolts in....I love it when a plan comes together....






Pan not sits nicely above the crossmember.....



And sits perfectrly with the bottom of the crossmember



Also got my raised alternator mounting kit....

Ken,

Do you have a pattern (blueprint)for those plates? I would like to buy a set if possible. That would improve everything I am concerned about with my conversion.

Thanks,

Tim

Got entergetic this morning and created a major mess in the garage.....took the front end apart....Grille, bumper, lights, etc.......also took off the rear bumper assy.....the car is going for Media blasting on Tuesday....when it gets finished there (gonna be interesting to see what's under the 1/8&quot; of paint) I'll bring it back home and gut the Interior and then off to the Puleras where they will work their magic on the Body.......The Bumpers will also go out for re-chroming





LOL.............





But....as Shoddy the body and paint on the car is....the &quot;Important&quot; stuff is in pretty good shape....Trunk floor is perfect......and there is just minor surface rust behind the rear bumper.....should clean up pretty easy......could be a lot worse







Time to start ordering parts ............
