what do u guys think of his build?? be for I get started also ,if u need anything from the 03cv let me know and pay shipping and its yours
thanks mike

 

I dont watch much youtube.
Good luck on your build

 

Unbolt the 2 engine perches, and when you swap in the CV sub frame. You will notice 2 vertical mounting points.

Cut 2 squares of 1/4 plate steel to match the vertical mounts. Drill a hole, and tack in a 7/16 bolt to bolt to the vertical mounts off the CV sub frame.

Bolt down to the CV sub frame. Now measure the engine stands, and cut down factory stands. Tack to the 1/4 plate you just bolted to the sub frame. Remove bolts, and fully weld. Grind as desired for finished look.

Measure once
Cut twice
So you have a template of what not to do.

 

Ed Ritchey sells motor mount adapter kits for mating just about any engine to the CV mounts. Just ordered mine for my 302.

 

Also, I am currently swapping in an 03 CV front end on my truck, just finished welding everything up. I watched Texasknowhow to assist with my installation, so far so good.

 

thanks jhorst14 for the info to cold outside today to skater the cv but it will be done

 

well working on getting the cv under the truck took the ifs out of the vic the easy way nice to have a old forklift
