Re: Nsane 52' Chevy Truck!

What header did you use on this engine? I picked up some C5 corvette manifolds and there just is not much clearance between the frame rails. Could you post some pictures of the engine mounts? Grear build wish mine would turn out that good! Keep it up!
Thanks
Grant

I used 98 c5 manifolds on mine, they worked good. LATER C5'S will not work.

I stay away from the Camaro and Explorer rears. Thats kind of the cheap way out and I don't like the looks of either. We have been running 9" Floater housings and Love them! I'll post a pic of the housing we're running in Project Snakebit. Thanks

Re: Nsane 52' Chevy Truck!

Your truck looks great. The panel matching seems perfect. I have one question: I'm sure there is a real good reason for it but I personally don't know the answer. Wyn did you reverse the "C" notches?

Oops......spelling. Why did you reverse the "C" notches. They look like they are reversed to each other (high end at front on right/ at rear on left). Do I need new glasses? I'm not well versed on notching, so just wondering why.
