I found this stuffed I a hold around the steering column
Gotta do something with this cause don't wanna cut the oil pan and lose any more capacity than I have to.
I know I'll just slice it and step it down then cut a pie piece out of it and pull the end back up to where it needs to be.

connecting the front crossmember that the control arms mount to.
would like to know who this belongs to. I know no one has worked on the front suspension since at least 1993.
just a bit of cleaning up the welds. yes I suck at welding.
had to shorten the driver side mount to match the pass side or spend $90.00 on a new one.

Never knew that med duty engine mount was that much different from the pickup one. You could've just asked if someone had a stock mount they could send you.
What are you doing for oil pan? Isnt med duty sump in center of pan or is this engine's in the rear like a pickup?

Should be the same as the pickups. I've got an upper and lower oil pan from a kodiak, and looks like a pickups pan setup.
But this was also an lb7, so don't know if they made a couple changes later on..
Oil pan is the same as the truck so it's rear sump. Didn't touch the oil pan. The steering on the Nova is at the rear but I'm putting rack up front. As far as the mount goes I just took measurements from the short one which is the same as the truck. Made it match.
Gonna run without a hood till I get everything right and all the bugs worked out. Once it's right I'm gonna put a checkered racing front subframe which is wider and the engine crossmember is deeper than mine so it will sit the Duramax down far enough to get a stock flat hood on
