Re: my first newby question on "how to do it"?

A lot of measuring is required for accurate, square, results.

Establish the height desired by mocking up the main frame rails on jack stands or something solid. The front end will get tacked in placed according to where you need/want the main body structure to sit & the amount of travel the suspension offers. The rear would be done similarly.

Once the main frame structure is set-up & the front clip has been temporarily tacked in place, set the drivetrain in & see if it's going to be necessary to build a new trans mount or use the existing unit.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
