Hey y'all looking for a little advice regarding motor mounts.
As you can see my dog is very sad, because he's tired of me swearing at inanimate objects.

I have the engine in, height and width mocked up and inline with the driver/driven clutch. Any suggestions on motor mounts?
The space is very tight (oil pan is actually touching the frame), and I still have to squeeze the radiator in there somewhere.

How to mount to the frame? Any dos/don'ts? Any wisdom you can impart?
I'm using some scrap steel right now as you can see in the picture circled in red. I would prefer to have something a little more classy looking, stock looking. I am not a fabricator, please all remember this.

Remember this engine came out of a lawn tractor, so it's mounts are a little wonky. The rear mounts on the engine, I can remove if need be and fab new ones. Picture below is the motor mounts on the engine (circled in red).

The picture below is the original mounts from the lawn tractor frame (circled in red) and radiator mounts (circled in green).

Please don't tell me to search the other threads, I don't need that drama in my life. If you have done a diesel swap and have some pictures of the motor mounts you fab'd up, please share. I'm about to lose my s##t on this thing and I've barely started.
Thank you!!!
