Jeff,
I'm using CE motor mounts and I'm pretty impressed. They aree designed to fit
inside the frame rails, (tapered from front to back) and they fit really well
and can be either bolted ot welded in. One of the things I like is there is no
crossmember to hang under the engine so this is a pretty clean install.
BTW, if anyone needs a crossmember motor mount I have one for sale since I
changed my mind and went with CE mounts. You can ping me off list if you;re
interested.
