It's time to set up the motor mounts for the "bad boy" Ford Motorsports engine. The engine is lowered into the frame rails and positioned in the chassis

With the height of the engine set in the chassis, we begin the fabrication of the mounting points. Using thick plate steel, we fabricate the pads and weld them to the chassis.

With the driver's side welded, John moves to the passenger side to duplicate the process. 

The motor mount pads are now gusseted for strength and finish welded. 

The front of the frame is notched to provide clearance for the steering arms.

It's time to setup the Aldan front shocks. Tony positions the shocks and tacks the brackets in place. A rod is then run across the width of the chassis through the top eyelets to ensure that the mounting points of the shocks are square and level.

It's time to move on to the rear suspension installation. Tune in next week for more pictures and info on the buildup.
