Unless you are dead set on making your own motor mounts, I would just put up the money and buy the TGR mounts. They really are a quality piece. IF you want to save some money you can easily fab up your own tranny cross member, but just the piece of mind that the engine will be in the right spot is well worth the money.

(TGR = Third Gen Resource, which is the older site for Fbody Motorsports).
They've got motor mounts, crossmember, fuel lines, etc.

Don't underestimate the exhaust work...nobody makes a bolt-in catback yet to my knowledge, which means you'll need a shop to do some fabricating. I used a 3rd gen catback, with the intermediate pipe cut and all customizing done from that point forward.
