Motor mount and shock mount need to be changed. They are not plug and play/bolt ons.

Havent heard from richdavidson34 but he custom fabs an awesome shock mount that is super easy to install. He is supposed to be working on a batch right now. I find it is easier to cut the motor mount with a sawzall :D

Been done multiple times. Look at the really old threads. Some of the pics are gone because the author is no longer active here but the words are all there.

I have a motor mount i was working on for a swap that I dont need anymore if you want it just pay the shipping. its a spree mount that i cut a piece that needs to be welded that attaches to the motor. Theoretically it would allow you to keep the centerstand.

So you weld the bracket to the frame and then bolt the engine to the bracket?
