Default RE: Big block conversion

Then I put masking tape into the chassie (for marking) I lined up the engine to the spur gear and using very small pieces of wood I glued the them around the mount (onto the tape). Once the glue dryed I then removed the engine and mount and without the engine fitted I put mount back onto the chassie into the woodie bits so that they will hold the engine mount in place, and I can use the mounts screw holes as guides (I used my bench drill) and drilled right through the mounts holes and into chassie. then drilled another hole right next to each other ones that I did and then filed out the middle and the engine mount holes are now elongated..

I filled up the old holes with J.B Weld (to add strength) and put a piece of metal tape other the whole thing and VOLLA IT'S DONE!! . All I have to do now is put the truck back together then I'll fit all the upgrades. I had to strip the truck down cos it would be easier going the job..

Damn I lost a few parts from the servo saver (bushes) so I've ordered them from Eddie..
