Didn't get much done last weekend,,,,, got some done this one. Started with making 1/4" plates that bolt to both sides one the motor. I based these on the wood ones I made earlier. See pic 1 and 2. It's amazing how different the motor is side to side. The plates are bigger than they need to be,,,, I'll cut them down as I move closer.
When measuring from side to side on the plates I get 10 13/16" to the outside edge. I cut the wood to match this,, that way I can fabricate the rest.
I'm using Trans-Dat motor mounts

I opted to put a 1/4" plate below them that I'll weld into place once everything is set,,, the reason being I want to lock the position of the mounts in place as opposed to sliding side to side with the slots in the OEM cross member.
I also cut the 1/4" thick top plates that will attach to the side of the motor. These are 3" x 5" that should attach to the plates that are attached to the motor. They needed a 68 degree end to flush up to
plates on the motor
Next weekend I'll cut the plates on the motor and get it in place (high/low - front/back) ,, then tack the top plate that are on the trans-data motor mounts. From there I'll cut a couple of additional braces then send them out for welding as my 110 Miller can't do 1/4" plate.
