Here's a pic of one I built for a project of mine. In hindsight I'd do it differently as I screwed myself on where to put the exhaust pipe.

Jeff,
Were you trying to lower the engine/tranny to improve driveshaft angles?

I forgot what I was doing its been that long. This is the silver Scout that's in the back corner of the shop that I haven't touched in 8-9 month's. I did make custom engine mounts and lowered them as well as move the combo back a few inch's.

Here's a better pic of the cross member.

Since you put bushings on the ends, I'd think you could've done without the bushing at the tranny mount. As it is, it's double isolated :flipoff2: :laughing:
