Well ended up having some time today to get some work done, had a few alignment cancellations so i was able to head home early and get some shit done.
Welded up the indention i cut into front subframe, still need to work on my welding once there is heat in the metal. I, not compensating in my speed for it so I'm ether too fast or too slow. So I'm either almost burning through or not quite getting enough penetration.

I had gotten home with some daylight left so i took some shots with actual sunlight on the car with where the motors final resting place is in respect to the engine bay.

Picked up a used truck starter to use for mock up to check oil line clearances and header room as well. Header wise i should have plenty of room to make what i want. Regarding dry sump oil lines, I'm not able to run the center port as it will hit the motor mount/ subframe. When i first put the starter on i wasn't thinking i could run the rear most port. But once i put the 90* fitting on i think i can just manage to get it to run and be out of the way by massaging the motor and starter a bit. By massaging i mean grinding on the motor and a hammer on the starter for a slight indentation haha Also dont worry about the rubber line, i will be using braided stainless line on the actual install.

Once the subframe was welded up, i pulled the motor out and bolted the subframe up to start measuring and mock up for the new mounts for the steering rack. I ended up having to notch the passenger side mount to go around the nipple for where there hardline connects to the rack
