Weekend Progress Part II - 5.3 install - pics
Well - finally finished the motor mounts.. Ended up welding the I6 mounts to the plates I made for the 5.3. Got tired of trying to line everything up and make it a bolt on deal. The only reason I didn't weld it up to start with was because of the rubber in the mount. I was afraid of melting/damaging it - or seperating it from the mount itself. Didn't hurt it at all - I just took my time welding - and cooling it off.
Got all the accessories back on:
Yes - the exhaust manifold is backwards. Just thinking WAY ahead..
It does not clear the frame rail(normal), which has me worried about headers. I'd like to run Mac mid lengths(F-bod), but I'm not too sure they'll work either. If not, guess I'll be making headers too.
One last shot:
