Gothenburg is a nice city.
I live more north though.

The grinding and welding continues, will redo the factory welds in front and middle completely before I get started on kickup and the rear.

I will build a tube crossmember for the upper rear crossmember mounts also.

Thats my home town, man do I miss that place.

One side done!

Got my new heads, LS7X Warhawk with all Manley parts. Set up for my solid roller camshaft. Crower rockers. The stands are being milled down a bit for proper geometry.

Also bought a Buxton springtester.
Really nice piece.

Starting to look for suspension, thinking of going Speedtech.

Got a little bit more on the motor.
Put in the lifters and mounted a head so I could check the rockergeometri and measure the pushrods.

Manton pushrods are on order.

I like what your doing here with the chassis. Reminds me of what I did with mine.
This build is exceptional!

Last side done, Im gonna fabricate new coilover-mounts in thicker steel and more fun design.

Anybody got any ideas on how to reinforce upper crossmember?

Excellent fabrication skills ( especially for home built ) I like everything about the changes, for the upper crossmember , I wouldn't be scared to just cut it out and replace with a 2x3 rectangular tubing with re and re mounts ? Maybe even make the upper mounts adjustable ? Just a thought 😋 Keep up the great work !!!

Thank you very much!

I like the design of the stock crossmember though, maybe waterjet a front piece in a thicker gauge and then build a boxed profile thats about 2" but stock height?
