Built a NV4500 Mount and NP208 is installed. I ended up having to use the ICT motor mounts. So the back of 6 liter is exactly where the back of the 454 was.

What about the engine mounts necessitated them or was it just for the easy swap aspect?
And nice looking adapter, did you just use the available rubber pads and then built a piece to go between? did you measure to get a specific driveline angle or just to not require moving the crossmember?

The ICT mounts put the Trans/ Tcase where I wouldn't have to drill anymore holes in frame. It all just worked out better. I measured the Center line of the old transmission output shaft height and duplicated my setup.
