Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D

Hey Captnfab,
Yeah I am looking at that myself. I am also looking at the 67-72 big block mounts as well. I already trimmed my frame in the past for the 73-87 mounts so I can drop them in right in ifn needs be. Once I get the heads back on the engine I will know for sure which way to go the heads are a slight bit taller than the older bbc heads and it is a tall deck engine to boot. The rear mount of the head is pretty close to the firewall as it sits now. Yeah those switches are sweet looking wiring them into my dash light circuit so when I flip on the dash lights they will light up at night. I got the resistors in for the tap switch circuit will be getting those done next week. I am going to have to modify the factory cross member a small amount to get the th400 mount on the Allison to work it needs to drop about 3/8 of an inch for it to clear the cross member and the body. Friend of mine in Lynwood is pretty good at it so I am having him do the cut and welding on it then back to the powder coaters for its final coating. then on to getting the axle swapped over to the new housing and be pretty close to firing this thing off and maybe putter around the neighbor hood lol .
