Got the motor in. Dirty Dingo conversion mounts bolted up beautifully. Only problem is they set the motor about 3 1/2-4" too far forward. I could have swapped sides and moved the motor back ~2" but I'd have to get rid of my A/C because the mounts would hit the A/C bracket. I'm dabbing another mount to go between the aluminum pillar and the original ford motor mount to move everything back 2 1/2". Steering was doable where it sits now, but was going to be very tight. Also, I'd probably have to run a pusher fan which I'm not fond of. I've got pics I'll post this evening.
The truck didn't squat much at all with the motor and trans. From the bottom of the frame to the ground, with a 29" tire, I've got right at 15" of clearance.
