You can do this by cutting out the center bar on the bottom of your swing arm. Cut it in half.

Make your next cut just past the bearing housing plate and insert the 2 new pieces. after you weld it lay some angle iron across the length to spread the load across the base.

Now the bar you cut away will be replaced with the new metal in the proper position for your engine mount. For some engines like the 350 you can mount it sideways to eliminate the exhaust problem. However with the extentions you will have plenty of room and a very smooth ride and reduced bounce in the rear when your hitting jumps.
i seen your vid (part 2) nice by the way.it looks like the big reason it rids better is becouse your back shocks are still in stock location.you added more travel by adding lenth to the swing arm were you did and it also makes the shocks seem softer.
