motor mounts

I hooked my plasma cutter up to my CNC mill with a simple holder that goes in the chuck and used it to cut some motor mounts.  well  it cut the shape and I used the mill with a drill to cut the holes.  then I plasma cut 2"x2" 1/4" box tubing until it had the angle I wanted to get to my jig and cut a 45 degree and drill the mount hole and then welded.

you may notice the nuts it's sitting on.  in the location where I'd like the engine it doesn't clear the subframe.  it does have a good clearance with the firewall though.  So I removed the subframe.  I'll be cutting it up soon and putting all new bushings in before final install.
