    Actually yest they do. The D-rings that I mocked up the boxes with fit fine but the ones I have now are bigger so they don't fit. So no Im trying to get a small pair that do fit.

    Ok this is going to be pic heavy. I started tearing a part the 4.0 to install new Iron man motor mounts, a pacesetter header and a new trans mount. Up untill now it has been mostly just buying parts, then I started to get a abundance of parts.

    the start of the tear down, labeled everything.

    After installing the Driver mount I will tell you on the renix engine it is not a direct bolt on you will have to modify the driver bracket. you will need a 5 inch cut off disk or grinding disk on a cut off wheel, to remove the access metal that keeps the Iron man mounts from sliding in. It is quite a task but I promise you once it is done it is time and money well spent!

    So with the pacesetter Header I had to plug the EGR and I did it by making a plate for it on the intake, also the is a tube that runs from the bottom of the intake to the old manifold I made a plug for that bud did not get pictures.
