69 Down Under
This is my first truck and first build of a proper car! Im into the whole stance seen with the euro stuff and had a few BMW E30s. I bit the bullet and quit my job then picked up the phone to Travis at AZProPerformance to order my stuff!
Parts Lists: Porterbuilt Suspension Accuair KMC Nova wheels 22x9f 22X11r Willwood Brakes Hydroboost Lsx I wanted to be different and build a longbed. Fingers crossed it turns out how i plan! Curently the truck is at my home in San Diego but ill be sending it back to my mother land soon (NEW ZEALAND) |

Re: 69 Down Under
From what I can see the truck looks gorgeous as is. Maybe add some chrome bumpers. Nice boat..

Re: 69 Down Under
Hi Matt
Funny you say that I was looking at the dirty dingo site last night. They looked really good as they are adjustable, but I couldn't see them for the 67-72. they only had them for later model trucks? Nick Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: 69 Down Under
Nick, 63-72 trucks have their own style mounts and stands. Stock motor mounts and stands will work fine with just the adapter plates, since the motor mounts bolt straight to a SBC block. What I liked about the POL stands is they use more modern motor mounts.
The DD adapter plates are great because of the adjustability. The Trans Dapt adapters I used will actually set the enigine back about 3/4" compared to stock. I also mounted my stands in the 6-cyl location to set the engine as far back as possible. The DD mounts will allow you to mount the engine in the stock location if desired.

Re: 69 Down Under
Matt,
Thanks for the info, I really like the look of these http://www.performanceonline.com/196...RACKETS-16820/ Are they the same ones you used? I'll have a look at your build and see how the motor sits Cheers Nick Posted via Mobile Device |
