Thanks! I will see how this matches up with my placement!
How high is the mount flat above the frame? how far do they extend in toward the center of the frame?
Did you offset it to one side of the other? (if so, why?)

To answer:
Will confirm measurements, but this picture shows my engine mounts before engine went in for the last time

Looks like they are not quite level in the pic, but must be the angle because they sit level IRL.

I centered them so the engine is centered in the chassis. The beautiful thing for me was with my adapter plate and my h150 gear box, my gearbox sits in its factory location with the factory cross member. So I let that be my guide when I was making up the mounts

Very sorry to hear that John. The club gives our condolences to you and your family.
 
My condolences to the family.
I can put out there some good things about Craig Merkey he was a great guy a real land cruiser enthusiast and did a tremendous job on his mustard 40. My relationship with Craig and his Dad go back quite some ways. I remember one winter day years ago when Craig and I were wheeling at Rausch Creek, a cold day and as we drove under ttrees we were breaking the ice from the low hanging branches. Gorgeous day- till Craig decided to go through the frog hole, got stuck and got a bunch of ice and rocks jammed uo into the nose of his starter. He had to lay on the cold ground to drop the starter and clean out all the debris. Did I mention that Mrs. Merkey and the kids were in the truck?????
Another time on one of the pig runs at Rausch a lot of the guys decided to drive through a water hole. It looked deep to me and I bypasssed it. Well Craig drove d through it and when he got to the other side opened the doors of his 40 and a whole lot of water poured out!!!!
Craig was one of the initial organizers of the Appalachian land Cruiser club, he had the cards printed up and also did a banner which I still have. He'll surely be missed on the Mud forum I know there are a lot of guys who followed his posts
