How's the rest of the swap going? Got the donor engine out yet?
A boot isn't really a good word to use, more like a piece of trim about 1/2 inch high all the way around the cutout but fabricated out of one piece, like a lid of a box. I'll probably end up making one from some sheet metal but I'm still looking around for a box just the right size. It needs to be between 2.5-3" wide and 6.5-7.5" long. I went on a scavenger hunt around the house and even spent about 30 mins at Walmart looking for any box or lid the right size.

I have'nt started removing the donor engine yet. Yesterday was spend replacing the blown suspension bushings I found while cleaning the engine bay. Superlift sent me some new ones already and it is much easier to replace them with everything out of the way.
