S10 Frame Swap w/ AD and LS motor

[tlorber]

Guys, I'm slowly making progress on preparing the frame. I have replaced control arm bushings and reinstalled the spring on one side. Now I realize that if I am to use the frame side of the stock motor mount, getting the nuts installed from underneath will be difficult (though probably not impossible) due to the spring and lower arm being in the way. I still have the driver's side apart so installing that will not be an issue.



So, my question for those of you putting an LS motor into an S10 is...should I plan on using this mount, or will I just be welding a new plate onto the frame at a later point?

By the way, the frame now looks better than in the picture. I have most of it painted with POR 15. The degreasing has taken more time than anything else.

Thanks for any advice you can pass on.
