I don't have any close ups, but the steering...It was simple I just added a u-joint right at the firewall and ran a piece of 3/4" tubing to the stock u-joint at the box. The motor mounts I had already made for a previous project that I never finished. Basically tabs off a bracket that bolts to the motor and sandwhich a bushing that is welded to the frame.

OK, the gas tank is done, the tranny crossmember is done and the front cylinder mounts are done with the exception of the top plate with the hole for the cylinder to come through. The driver's side was pretty tight around the steering and upper arm.

Are you going to tie the 2 cylinder mounts together with a cross piece? Also, the shops out there that can't bust stuff out in a reasonable amount of time should look at this thread. A full frame, body mounts, steering and a motor dropped in in less than a month and I'm sure that this isnt his full time job. Awesome job Jeremy. You're making me want to get in the garage and work on my Toyota....
