Jim, Here are the pics. As I was telling you at the track, Your mounts should have been moved inboard and ontop of the bellhousing for max strength.  You will need to shorten your down links and make a bracket like I have, Hope this helps give you a idea of what I meant.......Oh yeah, I had to remove my engine just to take these pics. Now I cant race at Seattle, but what are friends for. JK, I hope to have a motor built before the GCVWS

geoff thanks !!!
will check to see if the drop links will clear my header to allow that mounting method.
could you do me one more favor and measure the distance between the two drop link mounting points at the top as well as your ruff length of your drop links .that way i can check and compare the angle of your links to mine and make sure its cool and not some weird angle.
