Urathane on the motor mounts, rubber on the trans. The oil pan hung down a bit, so we cut it off, shortened the pan 1 3/4", and added to the sump a bit forward. (i'll get some picts) The motor is as far back as we could get it in the stock firewall.

Ok, i pmed you about this, but i finally took the time to figure it out, is the oil pan steel or aluminum? if it is steel what kind? Could i do it with a MIG welder on 75/25 carbon/argon with regular .023 wire for steel? thanks so much if i am able to shorten the sump myself it save me a TON of money
