Getting the engine bolted in is about 10% of the way there.
The next 80% can go quickly with help and skill.
That last 10% takes about as long as the 90% that came before it.
That is a SQ cross member in the top picture. It bolts up like stock when using the MightyMax engine mount brackets.
I'm doing a swap for Craig aka Busdriver on SQC and we should have everything pretty well documented on our "simple" swap. Lots of little things thought up over the years to keep it simple to work on and reliable.
It will use a stock transmission and crossmember. Doing it in such a way that all upgrades could have been staged. Any SQ transmission upgrade will work for it. Any steering conversion we do will work with any SQ. Should be pretty cool once we get it tuned.

D50s had 2.0L and 2.4L Sirius (4G6x) engines and 2.6L Astron (G54B) engines.
You use 2x MD041030 (D50) engine mount brackets with Starion rubber mounts/isolators. Bolts up great.
The crossmembers for the trucks and SQs are totally different, but have the mounts in the same position. Trucks have double wishbone, SQ are McPherson Struts.

Only seen your above pic so far, dj.
