We were at a stand still because the motor mount arms which mount to the frame that were on the 74 Jeep were the wrong mounts for the motor we took out of the 71 the motor out of the 71 looks to be a 255, odd fire. Today from around 12 noon to about 5:30 or 6:00pm we were carefully removing the motor mount arms from the 71 Jeep frame which were welded on so we had to surgically remove them while making sure we didn't compromise the structure of the mounts. Lets just say it was a pain in the butt, but we finally removed them we left a small piece of the frame on each mount arm and plan to grind that off very carefully in a vice so we can make sure we don't cut in to the mount arm which would have been hard not to do if we removed the small piece while still on the frame because of the cutting angles. Hopefully this will work because if not I will be purchasing new ones which will run me about $250.00 to $300.00 because they are "custom fabrication mount arms". That's not to much money but it is money I could have spent on something else for the jeep lol. Pictured below (Before Picture) are the mount arms we spent the day removing.
