Glad your back Buoymaker,
My plan was to use the front mount and drill the two holes to secure the engine. I guess to minimize any stress at that location it would be best to have the rear in its final position to achieve the 2-3 degree angle and then drill the holes.
As far as the rear-end, I selected the Ford mustang because it was only 1/2 inch different on width and had all the brake setup I wanted plus I could get it with 273 gearing. Which when I calculated the gear ratio base on my tire size, put me at around 2000 RPM's at 70mph. Now someone in the forum back when I first joined mentioned that I would be shifting a lot with the combination I have but no one mentioned any significant problems.
Hopefully this combination will meet my intent which is to mostly drive around town and occasionally go on the highway just to travel to a local car show.
Thanks again
Scott
