I had one of the bottom lines blocked and welded off and got a custom hose with fittings made to fit the bottom fc line and the fd line. I just took these pics now at night so you can see

I used the FC p/s pump, modified the mount and then modified the REW pulley to fit the FC pump, then you can leave the wiring and the hoses alone.

No sure if you mentioned this, but where you pick the motor up from and for about how much?

i picked up just the block from a friend of mine for $100 got lucky on that but it needed a rebuild b/c his oil line blew out so i had to change everything on the inside the bearings were shot.

Damn that's still a good find. You said you made your own mounts if I'm not mistaken correct? You have a pic of them if you did? I'm interested to see the design you came up with. I plan on using on of my subframes to molest and fab for my rew swap so it would be nice to get some more ideas.

I welded a bar from each side of the subframe in the back near the tranny, then test fit a rear plate and marked the bar for the bolts then drilled it out. there are several different ways but i didnt like the motive fab mounts. and the bar was way easier to make.
