No I bought mine from avalanche engineering for 399.00 plus shipping. They come with everything, 1st gen isolator pads, motor mounts and crossmember. I just put them in today, they are adjustable up and down and front to back. I have them all the up and all the way back. I will set the motor in tomorrow to see how it fits.

My d60 came out of a 82 chev 1 ton. I have a 4" lift now, probably gonna be more like 2" inches with the engine in there.

Well i got the engine where I want it and it's going to be tight with the radiator and will require some cutting to use the 92 dodge radiator. Here are a few pics.

Well I decided to go with an alumn. radiator from summit racing and it is going to work perfect. I also got the intercooler and the piping in there. Here are a few pics. I need to find a new fan shroud and make a few brackets for the radiator, then I will put the tranny and t-case in there and build a crossmember. Then take it all apart again and fully box and paint the frame.
