I had to weld angle iron to the crossmember so it will bolt to the bottom flange of the frame.

I'm not sure about your engine crossmember. Will it interfere with the front differential?
Thanks WhiteDog. I'll look at the Trans dapt. Not sure if there will be a problem with the front driveshaft interfering with the motor's crossmember. If there is then maybe I can use the motor mounts that are side mounted to the frame and don't use an engine cross member.
Looks like I need to mock things up a little closer before I go ahead and buy anything right away. Thanks for your comments. It potentially could save me aggravation and money. Rick
