Look Ma, no hands!
This afternoon I completed the last piece of the trans mount. Pretty simple piece. Made from the same 1/4" x 2" plate as the floor pan brace, V cut, bent and welded. Then 2ea 5/16" bolts on each side to the floor pan/trans tunnel brace/support. I made the mount about 3/16" narrow so that tightening puts tension on the braces.
As I did before and after on the crossmember, as to measuring sag with the engine weight, I did on the trans mount. Zero sag. I'm really surprised since the trans mount is carrying a good amount of weight. The motor mounts are between the first and second row of cylinders, so 3/4 of the weight of the engine and the transmission is on the trans mount.
Took the measurement between the transmission yoke and the diff to get the driveshaft made. I used a local company for my jeep project with great success, so I'll drop the related hard parts off at the shop tomorrow.
