Here are the pic's of the changes I had to make. They're not completely finished, just a rough idea where I'm heading. Anyway on with the pic's.

Notching the frame rails is necessary. You'll see.

Here is the revised motor/transmission mount.

The bottom of the transmission will be raised 1/2" to 3/4". My goal is to keep the drive line straight, from the transmission to the transfer case.

For some unknown reason a few pic's didn't upload, I'll try again tomorrow.

Hey its tomorrow already. Stop working and put some pics up.

Awesome detail on the frame and trans mount.
Sure look like this is going to be a beast

stelerzman · 02-21-2013, 05:18 PM

Sorry, I've been crazy busy. Might be able to post more pic's later tonight. "maybe".
I have a good feeling it will be a beast.

stelerzman · 02-21-2013, 06:00 PM

Sorry for the delay on the pic's

. Here are the ones that didn't get uploaded earlier.

This is why I said the m/t mount needed to be raised, the drive line angle is not to my liking.

And the out put shaft from the transmission is too low.

This picture real shows what I think.

I have to cut the top portion off the m/t mount of so it fits inside the frame rails with out any extra material.

stelerzman · 02-21-2013, 10:31 PM

Wow am I toast, I tools some progress pic's and there all blurrrrrrrry. I guess I'm extremely drunk.

. I'll have tot ake moore tomorrow

Hacksaw707 · 02-22-2013, 09:14 AM

Now that looks like fun

We've seen all the piece's, so put that damn puzzle together already

stelerzman · 02-22-2013, 09:23 AM

Yup. Tools required: Hammer, chisel, band aids, no girly fainting at the sight of blood, beer, and loud music. Also need to be immune to piss taking bastards like us

stelerzman · 02-22-2013, 02:15 PM

I guess I'll have to keep using the tools I have.

As soon as I get home I'm gunna cut the m/t mount down. I have it all sketched out and ready to cut.

stelerzman · 02-22-2013, 04:57 PM

I cut the mount down and it looks good, pic's will be up soon.

Got that right.

Pic's are uploading now.

stelerzman · 02-22-2013, 08:59 PM

Finally got them all to upload, so here they are.

I clamped the 2 pieces together before I cut to make sure they were the same.

And here it is installed.

That's it for now.
