Now for a big-ish change. Early in the build, my dad and I had made a midplate/front engine plate setup. After tinkering on some engine accessories and exploring several exhaust options, it was apparent that the mid and front plates were causing more headaches than they were worth, so I made the decision to get rid of them and build some standard motor mounts. I cheated though and bought a couple weld-on poly bushing ends. I think they turned out okay. Here are some before and after shots. As you can see the motor mounts free’d up a ton of space.
