btw the mounts are just a tubular mount kit i found on ebay.. came with the tranny crossmember to. i bolted them to the forward holes and everything looks like its gonna clear good

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

Im thinking you may wanna keep your eye open for a set of finned or at least some nicer valve covers. With those headers and the rest of the work you have done the valve covers just look out of place. Just my.0321 cents worth.

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

ya i bought those just for temporary cause they were cheap... but they got dented up when the motor fell of the engine stand... i just ordered these

here u go sick5 http://stores.ebay.com/KMJ-PERFORMAN...=p4634.c0.m322

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

bad ass truck man , looks sick as all hell , got a ? for you and the masses , if you sectioned ur cross member and or a small z of the frame would it lay rocker in the from ??

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

ya my frame is about 2 inches off the ground with 2.5 drop spindles and sitting on lower control arms.. so it wouldnt take a huge z with drop spindles.. i think most people do a 3 inch z..

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

With the frame flat on the ground the pinchwelds on mine are about 1/8"-1/4" from the ground. That is with brand new urethane body mount bushings, older broken in rubber bushings may get you closer if not touching.

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

got the rear tubs trimmed down today
