sorry it took so long to respond. I dont really have any good pics of the motor in the chassis other than the ones i posted. The motor sits as low in the chassis as possible and oil pan is flush with the bottom of the crossmember. In my 69 camaro the cylinder heads are about 1/2" to 3/4" away from the firewall. I modified a stock F-body pan and notched it to make it clear. You can buy a modified F-body pan from street and performance or a champ pan will also work. I am going to get some good pictures up tomorrow of the chassis with no motor or trans in it.

thanks,
kevin miller

Can you send me the pics you take today? My email is grsdup1@aol. In your first pics with the engine installed, the the engine trans look very high in front, sloping down to the crossmember. It seems excessive, but you dont often get to look at things up high at eye level like in that pic. My concern is that its way more than 3* down. Thanks for your time.

This seems like a great deal. I would not worry about the angle of the engine/trans until you start looking past 5*. As long as you have the ability to adjust your pinion angle to make your u-joint working angles correct it is not a problem! If you like this setup, I say go for it!

Must have it figured out Scott as the car has proven it's self time and time again (that Dam car is REALLY fast and dollar for dollar stacks up against 1st gen out there)..... The price s right,,, the parts are proven indeed,,,, so it'll be a decision for someone to make on personal finances in my opinion....

The sub frame motor mount stands are in the same spot as a stock 67-69 camaro.Kevin used my chassis jig to build this sub frame.The motor and trans are in the same location as I install them in all of my sub frames and build's.

I was busy all day today and didnt get a chance to get any pics...I will try to get the pics tomorrow. I dont remember what the pinion angle was but my ridetech 4 link is fully adjustable with right and left hand heims so when we put the car together we adjusted out the pinion angle and never had any issues. The car always drove great and was always within a tenth or so of Brian Finch and Kyle Tucker.
