    Does anyone have pictures of the frame mounts that are used when you change from a I-6 to a V-8 Engine. I noticed that Autokrafters has them for $169.00, they do not show you a picture of them on their web-site. I believe that I can fabricate them if I can just get some dimensions.

    Thanks

    Very hard to fabricate. They have numerous bends.....and angles to those bends....that is why the repops are so expensive.
