Thanks for the reply's everyone. I am totally excited about this.
As promised, here are a couple of better pictures of the engine right now:
LSX sitting and waiting...
And next, DECONSTRUCTION and mock up starts:
old 350 out
Started to clean the frame with wire wheel:
and then talked myself into just powered coating the frame. So, that is what I am going to do now. I might as well, everything is pretty much off and going to be replaced anyways, so it would be a waste to put on this new gear on a rusty looking frame.
So for now finished back suspension, fabed a bracket underneath bed for airpod and mocked up boyds fuel tank.
rear air bag on early classic trailing arm and c-notch:
airpod and bracket:
porterbuild cross braces (excellent product!):
interior semi gutted:
and my left overs, which are for sale if anyone wants:
steering column
inner fenders
radiator, shroud, a arms upper and lower & fuel tank
