ok tonight's slight progress. got started on the engine mount locations for building my custom mounts. these are 1/4" steel plate, and will be gusseted on the bottom to resist flexing down from the weight.



a shot of the subframe notch for oilpan clearance. i might need to take a little more out but i'm not messing with that until i see how far back the motor can really go before it hits everything.



last thing i did tonight was install the new throwout bearing on the slave cylinder. i went to install it back onto the tranny and sure enough, one of the bolts stripped the hole so i need to drill/tap the hole one size larger. not a big deal, just didn't get around to it this evening. these GM slaves are pretty neat little setups and don't weigh anything compared to a standard slave/arm setup.
