Does any body have a picture of what the did for the motor mounts on a hatchback AWD swap. I did a few searches, but found that not many people have actually done/doing this, just a lot of finger banging.
There was a write up online from some guy that worked at junk yard or something, but at the time I read it I was not considering a AWDswap.
I was going to bend a peice of 1.25 tubing to make a new front/rear cross member but it does not look like it will fit between the T-case and the sway bar/ rack area to get to the stock mounting point.
PTTcolt (I think that is his name on here) came up with the idea to make a plate on the firewall, but I am afrad the firewall might flex.
I also tossed the idea around about making a motor plate with tubes running from the frame rails across the car and having the motor plate meet those. Whatever I do will be done this weekend.
I know somebody is going to recamand the CD, but I don't have enough money to do this swap, let alone buying directions on how to do it. I am just looking for a idea, not directions.
Just to prove I am not a finger banger here is a picture of the ford 8.8 under the rear of my car, sorry camera phone. Please keep this picture on these forums as I don't want the world knowing about my swap (yet!).
