I had the oppurtunity to mock mine up (except headers) with typical engine mounts. I used that time to set the ride height front and rear. I also used that to fab up a "shelf" for the motor plate to sit on. Once it was on the shelf I removed the mounts and kmember brackets, installed the headers and raised or lowered the motor plate and/or tailshaft as neccessary to get the driveline in line with the pinion.

I drew it all up on the floor to verify what direction I need to go. Actually fairly simple once I got started.
