But it sounds like there are others that know much more about it than I do, so I will bow out now.

Cap,

I sure was not implying you are incorrect. You know more about these trucks then Ten of me will ever know. My comments were about using the standard v8 location in regards to motor mounts and that that the tall valve covers (That we are using) make hard contact with the firewall.

Much respect to you sir.
