Catching up, and updating.

It’s been awhile since I’ve updated the blog but with a number of requests and to have a place to put all of it in one nice neat place I’m going to update the progress I’ve made since August.

Got the motor set in with some temporarily fabbed up motor mounts

Fits like a glove

Now started to test fit up the turbo on the cast manifold, and realized that it’s pretty narrow between the shock towers even with the straight 6. Crazy how 351′s etc.. slide in there.

Turbo comes a tad close but she clears!

leveled out the engine so I could attach the transmission and make up a mount. I’m using a th400 with a cut bellhousing and a custom converter using the toyota bellhousing. Good for plenty of power, it’s a reverse pattern but no transbrake since the car is really more for street vs drag use.

I had a couple of revisions to my trans crossmember until I settled on this one as it will allow me to fit up the 4″ exhaust still
