Check out my thread in the user rides section. My strut towers looked like yours. I ended up having to rebuild the entire lower section of the subframer and strut tower.

If I coulda found a 4 speed for my big block there wouldnt be a 302 in my car. Good luck on the swap

You can build it better and stronger than stock. The time is now. We have the technology!

Shannum:
Have you removed the TC master cylinder/ABS system from the firewall yet ?
If not, then there's no way the 460 valve cover will clear the factory MC.
I know... I spent 2 weeks trying to figure out how to on my '87 maroon 460 TC. I even tried 1.5 spacers between the k-frame and the cover still hit.

I know it's a little late, but here are some pics of my custom solid engine mounts to fit the factory TC k-member when I had the old rusty fitting engine in it:

well the ABS computer is still in the car and the wheel magnets are in the back seat at the moment... as for the MC i think its bad but im not totaly sure ...the thing had hard pedal when i hit the brakes. and xenia is totaly worth the drive :)

yep looks really familiar to me. After you get the cut out shove a nice peice of 3x2 box tube in the framerails and weld the tar out of it.
