The new mounts are done for series 4/5 engines. These mounts do not affect the ground clearance like my previous ones. The mounts still replace the lower tie bar, but now the loads on that tie bar are spread over a stiffening plate between the engine and oil pan that also doubles as an oil pan baffle. Comes with all hardware and 2 oil pan gaskets.
You can order them from my website with paypal, or PM me if you want to make other arrangements.

Did you ever get around to modding tranny mounts? From the looks of it, I might be able to cut up a piece of metal that'll come from the crossmember towards the front of the vehicle in order to reach the mount on the TII tranny. I already took the saws-all to the cab so the gearshift will actually be in the cab.
I can't remember if you said you were using the turbo, but if you aren't do you know what other people have been using for turbos and intake manifolds that'll fit with clearance for the hood? I found the headers to use instead of the exhaust manifold, so that'll help.
On my project, I've got the engine mounted, figuring out what to do with the tranny and I know where to get a custom driveshaft in Austin. I need to wire up the engine, but can't find new connectors and pins for the new harness since the ones on the old harness broke off from being old and crappy. So, the accessories on the front and the throttle tank (I think that's what it's called, I don't have the manual handy) are pulled off to allow me running the new harness. That, or I'm going to have to bust out a couple hundred bucks for a harness to cut up. I still need to put in the new pedals, but I need to pick up an angle grinder because two of the bolts mounting the old brake pedal are for some odd reason welded in and I don't have room to drill the heads off. And with it, still have to run the lines and install the clutch master cylinder.
Like you, I got caught up with my other project, restoring a '79 F100. That, and I was sent to Colorado for two months and now I'm on leave for a week. I don't think it'll be running by the time I deploy on the 9th.

I avoided the driveshaft, shifter, and trans mount deal completely by using the B series tailhousing on an RX7 transmission. Stock B series shifter, mount, and driveshaft were retained. With a TII transmission, this could be done with B2600 components. With a n/a trans, you will need to use B2200 components.
As for your wiring dilemma, I hope you arent going to run the stock ecu. Id highly recommend a standalone, and a Megasquirt is perfect for the DIY type. You will learn so much in the course of getting it together and working. And theres tons of support, so any problems you may run into will probably already be dealt with by someone with clear instructions of how to fix it.
