With a transmission, frame back in the correct spot, it is time to fit the motor to the car. Here is the mock up motor. SB2 block that had been vented by one of the Hendrick drivers along with a set of heads that had dropped a valve.




We were trying the get the motor back and low as possible and the firewall was not cooperating. Break out the plasma cutter.

[Payton King]

This is our first cut



The firewall still did not want to play nice, so we had to be more forceful.

The motor slid right in and Jim locked down the motor positon. About 5 inches back and over to the right 1/2 inch for steering shaft clearence.





I had to throw my intake on just to see

Nice to see some positive progress after all the other crap you went through.

Can't wait to see what the hood is going look like.

Please don't copy the Merc!
