So i decided to cut off the existing motor mounts.  They had the engine in out of level and they had virtually no penetration into the frame.  The bottom half of the 'custom' mounts didn't even attach the the lower part of the frame channel.  My design is in progress.  I have it tacked in place and level.  I lowered the transmission angle to meet up with the rear end at a better angle.  I am toying with some different ideas for gusseting the mounts for rigidity.  I am also going to weld a brace piece of steel in between the mount (rectangular tubing) and the top of the frame channel as well as the bottom.  I thought about welding my gussets as more of a "tripod" look with (4) 1/2" solid rods welded at an angle from the four corners of the mount closest to where the engine mount is bolted going back to the top and bottom sections of the frame channel.  I think it would be rigid and look unique.  What do you think?  Not sure if i explained it well.  It would look like a 4 legged tripod from the frame to the mount... I also got to play with my new plasma cutter....  it was a blast!!  Kind of like a skid loader.  Every man should own one.
