So you can already imagine what it might look like.

All that will be different now. I'm hoping to redo the firewall and push it back and make room the right way.
Yeah, I had some fitment issues too, but mine was frame trimming for the mounts and headers. My firewall clearance was good. Heres a pic of my progress to date. I'm so ready to fire this old beast up.

I also went to a hydraulic clutch as I really like a manual trans, but surprisingly those issues were resolved fairly easy.

Keep up the progress and lots more pics!!
