Motor/Trans Install

[fng]

You know, I've done alot of looking around for this but the most useful info I've found so far was all the stuff I found on www.novak-adapt.com. I've seen a bit here, a picture there a paragraph by some very helpful zoners but all in all I'd have to say so far there hasn't been one clear, consice body of knowledge focused on step by step installation. Bummer, I tend to approach technical work with a checklist type mentality and I wish I could find a book or instruction manual that I could follow the proceedure's in an orderly fashion.
How 'bout you guys that have done this before, anything informative would help, especially on motor mount fabrication, and alignment of tranny vs. stock mount locations. I just can't bring myself to hack off the factory frame horns and my verticle welding techniques aren't the best in the world, so it looks like bolt in mounts for me. Have you got any more detailed info on the "Spicer" mounts? I'd like to have a template of those and a little more info on the install....(thanks for the earlier posts Barrman)
I just don't want some cobbled up looking, structurally deficient, looks like it's gonna break soon install.
The engine is attached to the tranny and just hanging in a hoist above the frame in my two car garage, I've lowered it a couple of times into position to check for fitment and..... mannnn!....it's gonna take some kind o' fabbin skills to get this one right. And believe me I don't wanna have to do this again ever. I've got the "get it right the first time" mindset.
I know I've asked about this all before and probably should just grow a pair and go for it but like I said, this isn't something I just want to stab together and hope it works.
Thanks everyone for the help and info and I promise I'm really not retarded.haha
