Finally got into the garage and started playing with the car got the engine and trans in need to Center the engine the factory offsets it to the passenger side, need to Center it to get the hood to close and I’m having issues at the moment all the suspension is off the car now and I will start marking and filling in the holes to tuck the wiring and smooth the engine bay I have also had a custom washer bottle and overflow made up to exact specs of the originals super excited about that

Seriously, looks like you've done a lot of work getting to this point. Good luck moving forward. Hope the garage is heated!

Needed some help with the engine since I’m having power issues with my garage with the welder and compressor need to do a rewire and have to trench the yard. So I asked my chassis guy to help me quickly with my issues could not get the hood closed even milling the intake didn’t get me where I wanted so I asked him to lower and back up the engine which helps with shifter location as well. And we tubed the cross meme we like we did in my street strip car to gain more room I pick up the car on Saturday and continue my work hoping to have the car on the road April
