because we all have jig tables in our 3 car garages? :headscratch: we should talk ...I could really use that

I feel your pain. Hahaha!!!
While I'm wishing for things, can I have a larger shop to house the table and all the other metalworking tools I want that is equipped with a two post lift as well? :D

SSlance, we way have met but I'm not sure. Yes the rear of the car will be similar to Al's car other than I'm fabing up most of it from components from the 2nd gen camaro and the nova. The car had all ready been cut up in the rear so it had nothing left stock wise that the kits we are working on would pertain too. The photo of the rear end table was to verify my dimensions and how I'm setting up my rear end, some of the things I will be doing may be of value to the engineering department at a later date. That is why a few things were measured and checked on the jig table. Here is a shot of what I started with when it still had the 12 bolt in it

I forgot to answer the question about the big block. Yes it will be going back to the car for the time being. I would like to try and work with it to try some auto cross, track days and a few standing mile type events. It also helps that it was fresh when I got the car and it made right at 500 hp at the rear wheels on a chassis dyno. I've since changed a few things so it will be going to the engine dyno soon for a few pulls. Im also are interested in seeing how a big block(= extra weight!) will work with our g-comp suspension for handling purposes. I think there are a lot of cars with big blocks sitting around and the owners may want to do some type of pro touring build but may not be interested in buying or switching motors.

Here are a few pictures figuring out ride heights and close to full compression and where I will mount and make clearance for the truck arms. I will try to get it so that I can get it low if I would like but not probably as low as the lowest photo. I'm also building the frame rails from the front sub frame to the rear of the

Close to full compression, it may be lower

My daughter think it will be a slow car since we have to flintstone the car!

This is going to be cool! Welcome to the site.
