1986 Isuzu Trooper II major build.

(Lincoln, IL United States)
Tthis is the trooper before I took the ifs out. will have new pics later. I have a website just for the build. www.myspace.com/tommy_gun802
I have a 1986 usuzu trooper II and I have taken the old motor, transmission, transfer case, and axels and ripped them out and thrown them to the junk man.
I have A 351 modified engine, C-6 transmission, gear driven transfer case, and the 1/2 ton axels to comlete the motor and trans setup.
I have started on the project of course but I have come across a huge bump and not sure what to do. I have cut the old motor mounts out and any other metal that was welded to the side of the frame so that the bigger engine will fit in between the frame rails.
My major problem right now is, I either have to make the new motor mounts mount up on the underside of the frame and set the motor down a lot further in the frame than I would really like or cut the firewall to where there is a bigger hole and will allow the transmission to come up higher. Now, that is the problem, any suggestions?

I really enjoy seeing real 4WD
vehicles in real situations where they are needed. There
are so many highway bound posers that never go off the
pavement here that seeing life or death 4 wheeling in
Iceland is really refreshing.

Offroading adventures and also learning from the up and downs of
