Here is the piece of metal I removed to clear the power steering pulley. The surrounding metal was also pounded back. The black object at the bottom it the custom pedestal I made for the rear motor mount to bolt to. It connects to the frame with 1 bolt and the mount bolts directly to the top and the nut goes on through the open-ended bottom. This IS the passenger side of the engine bay. The pic has been flipped. You can also see that the fuel lines were relocated out of the corner so they wouldn't be rubbed by the PS pulley. |

This is the front motor mount I fabricated out of 1/4" plate steel. The upper piece bolts to the a/c bracket, the lower cylinder bolts the the sway bar bracket. |
|
The rubber in my mount is actually 4 sponge hockey pucks! I drilled out the centers and inserted a 3/4" square piece of tubing for the bolt to pass through. Cheap and effective...lol |

This pic is pretty dark but this is the outer half of the front trans mount. It was simply moved 1" outwards by drilling holes in the mounting surface(swaybar bracket). |

Here is my modified front trans mount. The bolt pattern was redrilled and a portion cut away to clear the trans case. A cross brace was welded in for strength. |

The front tranny mount from the other side. |

This is the bracket that the rear trans mount bolts to. The 2 bolt holes(not shown) in the bracket were slotted 1/4" and the mount hole was drilled 1.75" to the right. |

This is the lower rad hose I made. I spliced together 2 pieces of SHO hose and 1 piece of Topaz hose to get the right shape and the right sized ends. It took several hours of trial and error to get it just right. The inlet on the pump sits just above the swaybar bracket so the hose has to make a hard 90 degree turn. |
