Now that I have it I don't think I can let r go... If I had that setting in my living room ..I probably would make love to it or at least build a shrine for it cptsnoopy APR 23, 01:01 AM I decided it was time to finish up the sub frame so I welded on a brace to hold up the original piece of the front cross member to the new cross member. I guess I should have looked closer at the old pics or at least had the tranny sitting on the sub frame before welding on the brace. I now appears that it may interfere with the tranny starter mount housing. Next thing, set the trans on there to see how close it is... cptsnoopy APR 23, 02:04 AM There was not quite enough clearance between the new brace and the trans case so I will need to remove a little bit of metal. Russ544 APR 23, 02:53 PM I forgot... what are you using for trans and engine mounts again? R cptsnoopy APR 23, 07:56 PM Hi Russ, I am using the old 1/2 ton dodge engine mounts. I don't remember the year but I would not recommend them anyway as there is no safety catch if the rubber separates from either side of the mount. I put three more mounts in place (some what like dog bone mounts) to keep the engine from moving far enough to let the main mounts tear apart. I don't plan on driving this car very hard so I hope it holds together. charlie Erik APR 23, 08:27 PM quote Originally posted by cptsnoopy: Hi Russ, I am using the old 1/2 ton dodge engine mounts.

That is were Darth Fiero said that he tore a couple apart on his car. (IIRC) Erik APR 24, 03:34 AM quote Originally posted by cptsnoopy: I think they will work ok if you don't run at the track. That is were Darth Fiero said that he tore a couple apart on his car. (IIRC) they do make some dodge mounts that have the interlocking setup if you don't already know ..I almost went with them but didn tlike the way the interlocking tabs stuck out the side of the mount. At 2 bucks a pop if I manage to break on I will just try one with a bolt through it and see what happens. I like the low profile of the mount
