ossibly, that is my hope, but will find out when we start the mock up. If not, going to design a birds mouth type weldment that will sadle over the top of the frame rail as well as down the inside of the rail and make the big Miller earn its keep. I know some interested parties would prefer a 100% bolt in kit. May be possible but I have seen the offset/cantilever mounts others make for different engine installs trying to make something work with the original frame side mounts and dont like the look, the engineering, and dont believe they will hold up to this application. We'll have to see. Whatever we come up with, will have them made and sell them as part of the kit.
Great to hear. The reason for the 100% bolt in would be for those that have a galvanized chassis and don't want to mess with welding. But pre-made and engineered weld in mounts that properly dampen the R2.8 is probably the best way to do it. The 2 sided mounts sound just as HD as the clutch, throwout lever, rad/IC and R380.
