I've never seen any hangup problems with this type of engine mounting. In your pictures it shows the transmission with the stubshaft mounted, is the ball collar loose enough to allow the stubshaft to move around a bit? Hope that helps. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 5,337 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 5,337 | There are spacer/thick washers that go between the mount and crossmember. That is what the wear patterns on the mount and crossmember are from.
Denny has pics of this I'm sure he will post.

Your rear mount look thicker than those on my 1/2 ton ...click... | | | | | Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 210 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 210 | | | | | | Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 210 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 210 | Thanks to some of the board members here I found the problem.I did not know the tail shaft that bolts to the back of the transmission would move by loosening the 4 bolts that fasten it to the transmission,The 4 bolts were tight enough to hold the weight of the engine from rotating down and sit on the front mount.I guess the real problem was i was slow on the draw .It took a while for what I was being told to sink in.Thanks to every one. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2011 Posts: 1,362 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2011 Posts: 1,362 | Frame looks nice what paint was used?
