Not a lot of progress today, but I did pick up the 1/2" steel for the motor mount spacers, some 1-1/2" aluminum rod for the subframe spacers and some 1/2NPT-10AN fittings for the remote oil filter. Fabbed up the mounting nuts which are pop riveted to the inside of the fender and test fit the remote bracket.
Yanked the engine and subframe again. Next time it goes in it will hopefully be for good.... sort of.
The plan is to get everything installed, hooked up and running in order to get it over to the BAR referee and the DMV to get the title changed from gas to diesel, then when I know I'm good with the bureaucrats, I can yank everything again for detailing, painting and powder coating. (No sense in getting everything really pretty if there's going to be a problem).
