Shackle hanger welded in place
After tring to put some extra weight on the front end, I found the location to weld the shackle hangers to the frame. After measuring both sides I ran a hot root pass and then a cover pass on the driver and passenger hangers.

Frame reinforcements
The frame had cracks on the inside where the mounts bolted to so I welded all those up. Then I made plates to strengthen to outside of the frame.

Blasted and powder coated
With the motor painted and the motor mounted refreshed, it was time to bolt it all up.
