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?

Scott, if you move that baby back any further, you'll be able to work the throttle with your right hand, instead of right foot. I can't wait for more updates! Love the wheels and the stance!

A little more progress. I'm working on buying a house so i'm wanting the transmission supported for the ride to the new house, which im hoping for before thanksgiving.

So onto the frame bracing. 1.5"x.095 1020 DOM - NASA Legal
