Thanks guys! all comments welcome, especially if you see me messing something up haha.

After staring and measuring for a couple hours, ill be moving the engine back 3.5" (from current location) to help weight distribution. At first i was going to try 7" but finally decided there was way too much hacking involved. a simple flip around of the mounts and a little ingenuity on the block, and the mounts will work that i have.

This should give me plenty of room for any road race style pan i want, which i have been concerned with.

Been a while since i updated. lets see....

Other wheel tub finished

moved the engine back 3.5" required flipping the frame stands, and moved the motor plate back on the drivers side to the other 2 locations on the block. The passenger side only had a 5th hole.... so after talking to GFORCE1320 (they are local to me) they came up with modifying the adapter plate easily to still use the regular 4 holes on the passenger side.

Before flipping the mounts i cut a hole in the firewall

Welded on the frame repair washers. they were rusted through.

Those wheels look so badass on there. That's a good stance too. Is it what you're shooting for?
