Don't sell yourself short or put me on a pedestal. All I did was make some scaffolding to fit an engine under a car. Simple as that.
I feel like the adaptor plate is the most expensive part and if you can get a bolt in engine; then the most expensive part is done.
The cradle or subframe is not really that hard for any engine type. Just two strait pieces of steel with a couple of bends in them. String them from the rear cast aluminum subframes on the car to the front where the OEM motor mount is. Run a cross member and there you have it easy as that.
Don't fear the reaper. If the engine is toast all you have to loose is time. And if you fail at least you had fun.
