Brasshead, do you have a photo of the firewall before the motor was in?? Nice tin work...


Contagious, that looks like a brute...

Sure do, I did a little custom work on it. I didn't want the motor moved forward so with a big block that ment the firewall had to move back.

How much did you have to move the gas pedal back with that firewall mod? I see you're using a cable pedal as well.

I don't remember for sure without measuring ,but it seems like it was 3 inches. I went with a spoon style gas pedal, you can see the mounting bolts in the recess,the cable just made things much easier. I really don't notice the move that much.
