Looking for a set of AWD motor mounts for a v8 or a set of plans to make them.

I have pics of a set of Racecraft mounts as well as the complete set of drawings that those 2 pics came from.

Here is the album.

Wow they really are different then the RWD mounts... these have ears lol

Thanks so much for the plans.

Now all I need to do is figure out how to do the oil pan.

There is a way to graft some extra metal into the middle of your v-6 pan so it will work.

Help me out here: Who sells said metal piece??

I'm planning to build one out of a 7 quart pan that I got from Larry, I've got a buddy that is an expert welder, and I needed a pan set up for a 2-piece rear main seal.

You can buy a pan from jags that run or they sell a piece for lengthening your pan. I bought the piece and did it myself. Wasn't too bad, no leaks the improtant thing. Another thing to you need to use the 4.3 oil pick up to reach down in the sump properly. Make sure you have 1/4 inch clearance between the bottom of it and the pan. I've heard horror stories of the pan getting sucked up against the pickup at high rpms starving the motor for oil if it's too close.

On those AWD mount plans there's nothing telling me where to put the "arms" at.

I don't suppose you could just whip up a set and sell em to me?

Actually I already contacted Jakepatch but he's not sure if the plans are still on the laser cutting machine. Said he'd check it out for me and get back to me... not trying to be a jerk but i'm impatient and asking around if someone else has a set they aren't using
