Well its not going as good as planned. I put the motor mounts on the frame and went to put the mock up engine in and figured out that the mounts on the engine side are not right, so i was figuring where to mount the rack and pinion and the shaft is aimed right at the frame motor mount.. looks like i will have to make them so they will clear everything and get rid of the ones i bought

Looks like the engine wont be in for the meet either but i can get some other stuff done i guess.

I did figure out that i can use full length headers for a car and they will clear the ground when aired out

What mounts do you need, I have V8 mounts that were in my 64. not using them.

**scotts62** · 05-06-2010, 11:04 PM

Not sure man, i got the tubular ones from CPP and its aimed right at it, i was looking at the design on the drop members to see how they were but not sure yet how i want them yet. Wish i had a tube bender i would have them done already

*highperf4x4* · 05-09-2010, 09:46 PM

I think it's a guessing game so I'm shooting for the rack and pinion!!!!

**scotts62** · 05-09-2010, 10:21 PM

Close.. that might be all installed by then too

No pics i didnt have the cammy with me

*highperf4x4* · 05-09-2010, 10:52 PM

bummer.

Well, can you just tell us?

**scotts62** · 05-09-2010, 10:58 PM

Mock up engine is in, i found the mounts and trans mount in but needs cut on a bit to make sure there is enough room for the muffler pipe, threw in some old headers for kicks and measured to make my drive shaft this week

*highperf4x4* · 05-09-2010, 11:23 PM

Right on!

joe231 · 05-10-2010, 12:55 AM

I'll post a pic for you Scott, as long as I don't get yelled at by you know who

**scotts62** · 05-10-2010, 07:39 AM

Thanks Joe!!

EDIT-- Yeah the motor mounts in there now suck! They must have to only be used with manifolds because everything hits them..

bjcaldwe · 05-10-2010, 12:10 PM

I just noticed the steering rack, nice.
