So the motor mounts were way off, as expected but had to try. I have ordered the dirty dingo conversion plates for stock k member and some cheap shorty headers from ebay.

I have to say that these DD motor mounts are awesome. Tons of adjustments and are very high quality. Took less than an hour to get the motor where I wanted and tightened up. I chose to go as close to the firewall as possible even though i have a solid 2 to 3 inches from the oil pan to the stock k member. Also the oil pan hangs less than an inch below the k member. This is a drag only car so I am not worried.
Hummer pan for the win!

Where did you get those? How much? I have a ford AJE K member and would rather just use those if I can. Would keep me from swapping from one K member to another.

It does feel high. With this intake, the carb is just about even with the fenders.. but I expected to not be able to run the stock hood.
the pan doesnt hang as low so that was a bit of a plus.

Badass. I was looking at last night thinking that if I could just slide that forward an inch life would be good.
The headers are ebay junkers but the quality and fit is great so far. Came with bolts for flanges and collectors along with gaskets. 108 bucks shipped.
