I built my own motor mounts when I did mine.  I used tube and rod ends.  I also cut the factory mounts on the frame and moved them down and then gusseted them.  That allowed me to drop the motor down around the cross member.  But I had to notch the fire wall for the distro.

  I am running a 350(355) Small block and have Power steering. I went with an all aluminum steering pump and block mount. I converted the Mazda steering box over to AN fittings and running braided lines. The Steering pump fits in the palm of your hands. Now obviously you do not want to speed 600-700 for this pump,tank and fittings, but for $50-60 you can buy a SWEET brand steering pump off ebay and purchase the mount for 30-40 off ebay aswell.  The pump will be Cast instead and most likely the style from the Chevy cars. Just need to match the RPM up with your motor.

Hey Maz2low, are you running those plug wire brackets backwards on purpose?

  They are run that way to match other side which had clearance/routing issues. If you saw it from a distance and location of bracket other way you would understand.

Ok cool, I just didn't know how compatible the mazda steering box was with the GM or other power steering stuff. Thought I might need a different steering box or something.
