Quick update, will post pictures hopefully this weekend. Started boxing the frame in for motor mounts and extra support where I cut the frame to narrow it up. Also got the motor mounts built (frame side) and motor is bolted into the frame, ended up being able to use some Energy Suspension off the shelf mounts(motor side), at least this way they are kind of a easy part to replace if need be. Oh yay, a buddy of mine brought me over a aluminum radiator that I think will fit, it was in his small block s-10 before he tore it apart (FREEBIE). Ordered trans. mount today, hopefully be here in time for next weekend so I can get it mounted also. Also ordered a set of weld-up lakester style headers that I will modify to be fender well headers.

That's about it all for now, like I mentioned, will try and get pictures posted this weekend for all you PICTURE HOODS.
