Ended up cutting a lot more of the firewall than I originally anticipated but overall it will be much cleaner to build it all back in v. plug up holes and so forth to keep the old stuff. The engine face essentially lines up with the center of the front wheels. The pedals are going to be a fun item to place and I am thinking I will either have to mod the mid-mount I just bought or dump it and make something custom. If I moved the engine forward just one more inch it would make a few things a bit easier but I am hell bent to not do that so I am going to keep at it. I can envision a few different header designs so I have some room to mess with engine location if I must. Figuring out what I want to do about the steering rack looks to be the next serious hurdle - hopefully Unisteer and others have a bunch on display at SEMA next week I can pore over.

I also cut the torque tube down for the front bearing assembly to support the input shaft and test fit that with with the new mid-mount and custom shim plate I had to make to get the LS bellhousing placed correctly and that all fit perfect with almost 100% support on the pilot - can't get better than that.
