[QUOTE="phlegm, post: 102568, member: 12227"] I started making motor mounts, finally. I set the vertical uprights about 1/2" behind the gas tank and used the motor mounts to determine the angle for the inclination of the top angle iron (top angle iron is 2"x2", uprights are 2"x2"). I decided that since I could not create a vertical mount directly from the lower deck to the motor mount locations, that I would extend the 2" angle iron to the rear most bracket, and there I will add some heavy wall steel spacer tubing with 7/16" bolts. Left Side.

There is a socket on the right side approximating what the steel spacers will look like once I cut them.

They need to be at least an inch taller for oil pan to gas tank clearance. I built these under the false assumption that I could lower the engine at least an inch after I took out the 2x4 block. However once I take out that block, the motor drops about 1/2" and the oil pan directly contacts the original motor mount brace that is welded to the gas tank. Not Good.

[IMG]http://i689.photobucket.com/albums/vv256/phl3gm/automotive/Case%201830/20180214_Busywork/IMG_3666_zpsf8nsrxxo.jpg[/IMG] So out they came, and I added 1.25" to the bottom of each upright. [IMG]http://i689.photobucket.com/albums/vv256/phl3gm/automotive/Case%201830/20180214_Busywork/IMG_3732_zpsuncmgp3q.jpg[/IMG] To address the right side upright being too close to the fuel line, I cut a wedge out of the bottom of in, so that it recessed about 1/2".

It is looking much better.

The white parts will be cut away. [IMG]http://i689.photobucket.com/albums/vv256/phl3gm/automotive/Case%201830/20180214_Busywork/IMG_3775_zpszt3qeba0.jpg[/IMG] Looking much better by the fuel line now. Once its bolted, I won't have to worry about damaging the fitting.
