    Just let me know Scott, I will be happy to do it...........

    My MII crossmember came tuesday. It will be a few weeks before I get to put it in. I had ordered the engine mounts at the same time. To my suprise, they welded them in place already.

    Is the motor bolted to this?

    i dont have it in place yet...... they welded the engine mount to the crossmember already. i was a little worried on how i was going to get them mounted in the correct place and height.

    I guess what I am wondering is if what they welded are the stands. Mounts are generly rubber from what I understand. From what I see looks like it replaces the stand and the mount. I would hope there is a mount to be used. There are some that want or need the solid mounting, just not I at this time. I am inquisitive cause I like the setup and one day would like to have this or simular.

    I am guessing those are the stands where you mount the mounts, then the engine. Not where you actually bolt up the engine.
