Recent purchase of CR Body, Frame and interior

[KCMCHRIS]

DV

Yes I'm still here! I did like you said and wrote a private a note to Capteddie, I should have made it public but I am still getting used to this site.

I probably did not put to words my project correctly.

The Cobra is a CR I? from 1997, the engine mount mounts which attach to the frame are to be bolted to the frame and connected to the rubber engine mount by a 4.5 inch 3/8 inch bolt. Unfortunately the kit came with two left side "engine mount mounts" and no right. No problem, I will cut the other apart and weld it correctly. The problem is I do not have the suggested D7ZZ-6038-A and B rubber engine mounts to position the engine.

What I have decided to do is set the frame on the ground with the front and rear tires on, install the lower floor pan and fire wall and column support. Then place the engine and tranny in with the mounts and drive shaft where I believe all should be. If adjustments are needed forward or backward at least I will know that the engine will not hit the firewall or radiator. Finally I will place the body on to be sure nothing hits and the tire are in the center of the wheel wells.

Are there any suggestions or have I overlooked anything you can think of?

I have no headers or side pipes. Any problems getting them since no one answers the phone at CRII or will the exhuast determine the location of the engine?

Thanks for the help!
