OK guys, thanks for the thoughts on the bar stock idea. I will mod the pan. I do not have a stroker kit in it so I gather that there should be enough room.
Silver69Camaro, thanks for the tip. I will move the tube Sat and go from there. There is no way the rack will bolt up as it is now. Without that tube I should be about 1/2" shy of making the bolt.
BThibodeaux, it sounds like we have the same issues. Do you have any pics I can see of your fix? Thanks for the compliment, I hope to put it on the road this spring.
69 L88 Camaro, I think I am going to get be able to get by with moving the tube and notching the pan. Thanks for the offer and if for some reason this does not work, I will be taking you up on it.
Clill, I specifically ordered the frame for the BBC. I was told that it would work.
Yes, it does seem like BS that the motor will not bolt right in. You certainly would think it would after spending a few thousand on a custom frame. But, it isn't exactly the end of the world either. Not really a big deal at all once the decision was made on the best way to fix the problem. As my little brother likes to say "It is not the destination but the journey"
Anyhow, thanks again for the help guys and the collective knowledge has saved me trouble with my (bad) bar stock idea.
