Cool. Like I said, it's hard to judge from the pics. I cant wait to see the finished product.

A little better perspective. Just move the axle up 4" and it would be close to ride height.

[weshole]

Perfect. now I can see what your talking about.

Yanked the mock-up motor last night and pulled the tranny. The tranny will be dropped off at T-N-T Tranmission on Monday just to be checked out. Ted does a hell of a job. Had him do the re-build last summer right after P-10. Had a few runs on it then had it out for other things and he told me to bring it over just so he could take a look. Tore it down, everything looked good, so I put it back in. Figured it was out now so I would have him take another peak at it. Anyways the motor should be ready to be picked up early next week. Still have a lot of wiring to do and some suspension changes yet. I still haven't decided if I am going to change gears or not. Either I'll keep the 3.27's in it or put some 3.08's in it. I did make a custom Tranny crossmember for it the other night. I couldn't get my little Miller 135 to get very good penetration so I dropped it off over to 63Vette for a little tig action.

Built with a cutting torch and a BFH

Got the motor back last night. Hopefully start bolting some stuff to it in the coming days.

Had them stuff some Oliver rods in it, they must have been a little beefier than the Eagles, it took 4 slugs of heavy metal.

As a trained welder you guys look like you know what you are doing

I made it black.. It is a Canton piece "of shit". Another thing that takes a hammer to make fit. Any manufacturer that says bolt-on is a liar.

I was planning on it. Even if not running but it is rollable, I will take it over there.

I can weld aluminum between 3 and 5 beers. Any less or any more and I cant. :icon_scratch::icon_scratch::icon_scratch:

[Grr]

im in the same boat, i shake too much to weld alum properly unless i have a couple beers first, lol

Before I put the intake on I figured it was a good idea to port match it. I took about an 1/8" off two sides of each port. Should have done that along time ago. Had to trim the gaskets too. Wrapped headers last night and tonight. Pulled turbos apart to check them out and cleaned them up.
