v8 swap question

[FirstRanger86]

Any link to pics of these plates? To get them right, wouldn't it take test fitting the motor in and out of the bay??

I am also curious about these "Plates" as I am also getting ready to take on a swap.

This is a set I made for another member. They lift the motor up for more clearance, and there is no fitment issues. They are designed for the TTB frame, so they bolt up and drop right in, all the measurements, trial and error and proper fitment have been done already. They work with the stock 4.0 rubber motor mounts, the locator pin is removed....

Those look awesome man!

Thanks, Shane. In the first pic towards the top you can see the slot is elongated. I had problems with my jig moving while machining. Turns out my tooling bit was past dull...

Are those for the swap you are doing right now?

That's the pair I made for a member a while back, posted in ST's thread. I didn't have any pics, and had him send me some. I need to fab up two more pair, one for SVT and one for Josh's truck, D-ranged that I'm doing the V8 swap on. I'll update his thread Wednesday or Thursday when the motor goes in...
