Well I've gotten some more work done. I started by taking many measurements between the block mount and K-Frame on the drivers side. This time around I will design the block side first and the motor side last. As you can see in the photo, its a tight fit.
It was difficult to figure out how to best make this mount, but I came up with a decent idea, I think lol. So I would build a box where the mount will drop into then section the original mount pad to fit it, without any major loss in strength.
I knew that accuracy would be key here so I made a template to cut the side sections.
I then cut the rough shapes from some flat stock.
I massaged each side, by filing them, until each one was arrow strait and matched the template perfectly.
Once all my tolerances were less then a 32nd of an inch, I mocked it all up and tacked it together.
After It was tacked up I removed the bushing section and replaced it with a stack of slip collers and washers so the heat wouldn't warp it to much. Then I finish welded everything.
I then replaced the Bushing when it cooled to check the fit. I was a little tight but not unreasonabley so, I may use a half inch stud and a couple of nuts to open it up a 32nd. Just so getting the engin in and out later will be more friendly.
In this photo I am doing my 2-handed best to show you roughly where it goes.
As usual thanks for the compliments, there's more coming soon!
