Alternator bracket





We had to alter the water pump inlet to clear the right side oil pump and belt

You can see in this picture the clearence we gained with the water pump inlet






Lower mandrel...just because it looks cool

It really bothers me that your motor sits behind your rack centerline ...

And they have lightening pockets! Those are cool

Isn't it all FUN when you get together with a GOOD builder.....

Nice Payton!

My car building project now has just been a pleasure. The stress of my project is completely gone, so yes, the right person/builder makes all of the difference.

Ron, with the motor moved back as you noted, needed a remake of the fire wall which makes a great transition to my next set of pictures. That was almost like it was on cue.

Before we get to the firewall, we needed to do a little header fitment to make sure we were going to have room. These headers are from Jimmie Johnson's 48 car. They are made by Profab.
