Motor mounts and frame mod

With the 5.0, I had to flip the headers around in order to hook them up to the side pipes. This means that the frame had to be modified to clear the outlets on the headers.

Don't know why this pic uploaded sideways but here is the section on the drivers side that needed to be cut out.

And the new section is welded in, I still have to add a little front piece and weld the underside.

I debated what to do about motor mounts but finally decided to run 2" square tubing from the stock location on the block out to the frame rails. This is the passenger side.  I learned from the V12 that motor mounts sticking into the engine bay make it more difficult to remove the engine, so these ones bolt to the frame using grade 8 bolts..

 There is no cushion between the frame and the engine, they are solidly bolted at both ends
