TKO-600 Came while i was at SEMA! Also the centerforce clutch came and we are waiting on a mecleod throw out bearing to come now.

once these show up we will begin mock up of the engine. the firewall is going to have to be moved back a little but we are going to put it in just to get and idea on what needs to be done!

Great looking build Tyler. I have to say, I have not really paid attention to this thread until today. Then I see, you live real close to me. Furthermore, I recognize the pictures from Schroeder Implement. Keep up the great work.

Thanks Tim! Yeah we live real close Im in sussex. Dave Schroeder allowed us to have the chassis and the engine shipped to him and it made things so much easier as they had a fork lift and it worked out great! :thumbsup:

Friday night update!

Tomorrow we will be cutting the firewall so the engine will be able to mobe back about 2" and then it will be level! right now the oil pan is just resting on the crossmember. Hopefully tomorrow we will be able to weld the mounts :thumbsup:

She's coming along Tyler. Very nice.
