Snake,
Couple things, first off you HAVE TO be a fabricator!
Get a pair of the motor mounts you want to use, bolt them to the block, (Bare block is best if you have one) then set the block, with the new mounts in place. Drop the motor in "place" making sure its centered and level, I prefer a tranny bolted to the engine at this stage. Set the entire package down using the CR's frame mounts as a guide, pick the motor up to the proper level. You can tell this by mounting/or just checking side pipes clearances. I usually (temporarily) mount the headers and side pipes. By using the side pipes to adjust the position it's easy to have the motor in right and in line. I then put "jacks" under the pipes to hold everything in place. Now use the equilivant of 3/16' s flat 4" steel plates making them to bolt on the bottom to the CR MOTOR FRAME mounts. On the top engineer them to fit your new motor mounts.
About one days good work & you should be ready to go
SAFETY FEATURE: On ALL my BB's, Stroker motors and ESPECIALLY any DOUBLE VENOM cars built, I would use VINYL COVERED CABLE hooked to the top of the (LEFT!) motor mount & then to the frame. Leave a little play in the cable allowing the engine mounts to flex as they were designed. You can use TWO small cable crimps or TWO cable clamps to attach the cable together!
NO MORE WORRIES ABOUT A MOTOR MOUNT BREAKIG LOOSE! ��
