Well, talked to a buddy today and he sugested getting a 1/2 inch steel plate, drawing the firewall on it and fabricating the engine mount connected to it.

that way when the welding is done, all parts will stay in alignment, i was just going to use 3/4 inch plywood, guess i go to a scrap yard now and get a honkin big piece of steel

I will need a welding bench down the road, what do you want to bet it'll have a firewall and engine mount bolt holes in it:p:

On another not, someone with a franklin engine mount was gratious enough to take pics of it and measurements and they are mailing me them, won't be able to hold off much longer, looks like i'll be bending,drilling steel, and tackwelding soon

enjoy the build
