Hopefully Bill (the88tlc) will see this and post some pics.. Yet another of my cameras shit the bed, again :sad: Anyway, we got his 4BD1T mounted pretty much completely last night into his 88 62. The mounts are very similar to my first Cummins 4BT mounts on the frame at least, 4" angle, gussetted. We are using Ford liquid filled (I think) mounts that look like mini-versions of the 4BT mounts. They are perfect actualy and should isolate well. We had to move the t case back about an inch and therefore drop it about an inch. The oil pan is a little close to the axle, it is definetely a slight shoe horn. Being able to move it back another inch or two would have been nice but not possible without major doghouse modification, but it fits in nice. The engine sits very well in the engine bay. This is with the 4L60 aka 700Rr trans this is the situation. The trans is short but the adapter is fairly long at about 6" long easily. So this makes the trans-setup fairly long. In general though the whole setup really is nice and that is just a killer engine. I have a little left fab with with the 1" dropped crossmember but the front mounts are all done and look good. I'm sure you all will see pics soon

Cheers,
Andre
