All pretty'd up.
Now to look at this acme adapter plate misalignment I keep reading about with all that money tied up in his 10" clutchplate and adapter the last thing I want to do is wreck the new clutch.

Saw your video. What did you do about the tortional movement of the motor?

A torque strut on the passenger side.
If that is not enough to hold it I will put one on the drivers side as well.
Looking back, I would have liked to use the mount from the rear of the trans. It would bolt up the same, but it is not a pivot mount. It has a fixed geometry.

I'm curious how things are going with your build. How did the motor mounts work out? Are they able to hold the torque?
