When you start on those floor boards I can tell you to keep the noise down like you are always telling me.lol But please do post pics.
The mockup engine weighs 29.0 lbs. that includes the valve covers. I bought it on eBay and it has steel threaded inserts for every bolt-on (headers, intake, water pump etc.). The floor will be easy to build, because the torque tube requires that the floorboards be built in two pieces and I have a 36" brake that can handle up to 16 gauge, though I will only use 18 gauge. Then I can roll beads into it to strengthen it. I built a set for a friend and they turned out really nice.
