I've been welding and grinding and welding and grinding on the floorboards. Both subframe connectors are fully welded in and most of the main cabin floor pans. Cut out the tunnel and a section of the firewall so I could test fit the engine. I need to clearance a few places to make the headers fit a little better but other than that, it fits pretty well. The trans sits a bit higher than I thought it would but shouldn't be a problem. Looks like I'll need to make an extension for the shifter to move the ball further back. Otherwise, I'll be busting my knuckles on the dash. Unlike the wagon, I have a ton of room between the front of the engine and the core support. Fitting a heavy-duty radiator and a high flow Corvette fan should be easy peasy. If you squint really hard, it almost looks like a car.
