Looking to fabricate my own engine mounts,have some questions.

Jim Lusk said

You CANNOT make up a driver side mount that will not require modification to the driver side mount saddle. That is because the oil pump takes up the same space. Schumacher mounts have you cut the saddle shorter and drill a new hole. Do yourself a favor and pull the k-member and modify it. The big block passenger car spool mounts are out there and often can be found on E-bay.

Great post!
O.P., just do the Jim Lusk modification and don't look back.
It just flat out works, and is straight forward, what more do you want?
You say that you are a fabricator, so it would be easy for you.
I am a welder/fabricator as well, and I plan on doing this in the near future when I finally install a big block in one of my A-Bodies.
I don't see any reason to reinvent the wheel here.........
BTW, where in B.C. are you from?
Feel free to p.m. me on this if you don't want to display it on the site.
I'm originally from Cranbrook, and mostly all of my cars and parts are there.
