RE: JPOR: Ford 5.0 in a CJ

[Dave Jacobs <DJacobs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have the two stock mustang mounts, which I wasn't a ware of a difference
between the two until AFTER I welded in  steel plates onto the frame!  My
engine is cocked to one side!  And I have a T-18 and NP231 behind engine,
and wanted to use front two slots on stock crossmember for tranny mount.
Thought I had enough room for fan. Probably would if I had the two passenger
side mounts put in.

		Really?  I have a clutch fan and my placement is just about
perfect with the
		'2 passenger mounting plates motor mounts'..
