Let me know if there are any more pics you wanna see, don't mind comparing notes on that stuff!

Last night I managed to put my lift springs under the front. Figured I'd rather do that without the weight of the engine on top to have to worry about. Also got my crossmember and engine mounts done. I ended up buying TN diesel conversion mounts and crossmember, only to find out they don't really work in a 2wd, and theres no real easy way to make it work as it comes. So out comes the grinder and welder.

I pulled the 4x4 mounts off of my donor frame and cut the bottom a little so they would fit inside the frame rails (instead of slitting them like I see a lot of people do) well see if that helps or hurts in the long run. The crossmember just wasn't going to work at all how he designed it so I cut the ends off and added some plate to it so I could bolt it to the mounts and to the frame itself. Unfortunately I don't have pics to share just yet. Almost guarantee I am going to have to drill new holes for the motor mounts themselves but thats no big deal. Right now debating whether or not I want to stress my hoist with the trans bolted to the engine, or do the engine by itself then try to muscle the trans into place..
