i used the stock truck pan for now and the s&p mounts i had to space the engine up about a 1/2 inch and drill new holes for the frame mounts. also add 3/8 of an inch to the frame mounts so the engine would be leveled. if i had to do it again i would use the brp engine mounts and big block frame mounts, but all in all it came out good.

I have thought about the BRP mounts as they are local and I have a BBC in it currently.

Thanks
