Thanks and no problem. Welcome to ask any questions and I'll do my best to help as will the rest of the members here.

Are you running a manual trans or an auto? If its a manual, I can help on that end also. I converted mine to a hydraulic clutch to make it a little more "knee friendly".

One inch forward off the rear factory holes also gave me plenty of clearance for a large cap Mallory HEI. Was no problem removing the distributor to prime the engine or for maintenance down the road.

Also....a pic of the notch for the POL mounts. Trimmed the frame for additional clearance on the headers also since I went with 2" primaries.
