Since the Ram was totalled and the Pontiac is running poorly I took some measurements. The Cummins turbodiesel will fit if I add a snorkle scoop. Does anyone make a universal engine mount to help with this kind of swap?

Thanks in advance.

Does anyone notice the lift blocks on the front of this bird? I was told that was always a big NO-NO....
