After checking the motor mounts from the 173cid motor and comparing them to the 455cid motor, I think I won't have a problem with the frame mounts. I don't think I'll need any made.

The mounts for the 173cid are like 2mm wider than the 455cid mounts. Do yall think there would be a problem?

Be careful when you drop it not to get your fingers in the way.

are the motor mounts in the same space? Will it fit on the motor mounts and still fit flush up to the tranny? The mounts may fit, but not be in the right spot. Let us know if they are.

Alright, my next full day off from work and school, I'll test fit it and let yall know if it fits in the right spot and all that.

Tomorrow, hopefully I'll be taking out the ECM and such that I won't be needing.:lala:
