agreed that looks pretty steep.

Since the engine does not over hang the front mounting tongue on the cradle, it may be be easier to modify the cradle than the crossmember in the cart?

square is easier than curved, though that's a really nice job you did Ron!

Using the stock engine mount works like a champ, if we're talking about a G16. The engine can be leveled as much as needed. Unistrut or billet blocks...

On my G16 I used a combination of bevel and flat washers to reduce the angle.

Jakes 6 inch LT lift kit. Two options have been mentioned here. 1. Brace the engine in the rear to make level. 2. Lower the front of the swing arm to make level. How would I do this. Does anyone have any ideas or pics.

Did you see Ron's (thenewguy) post? Hes got a link in his signature with step by step how he dropped the front.

Only problem is that link is for a G2/G9. On the G1 I raised the rear of my engine mounting bracket. I've never big blocked a G16.

Drew up some plans for a mounting plate and took it down to the steel yard and they made it for me for $25. 1/4" steel. This way it gives me a little wiggle room.

There you go. Looks like one you'd have to buy for $75. Good work.

Are you planning on using any vibration isolaters? It might not be necessary with a smooth running Vanguard, but it wouldn't hurt...

Well...... was messing around at tractor supply today and came up with an idea. Decided to cut up a ramp board that I never use. Can anyone see where I am going with this? I am going to try to put in a 4 link. Going to level up the motor carrier and weld in a slightly lowered cross member about 6 inches away from the brake / gas pedel towards the rear and use this old ramp to link between the two and do like a long travel rear 4 link motor carrier. We will see what happens. Some day I have got to learn how to weld.
