I am still working on this. I had a little lull and got hung up on what to do about engine mounts. I was hung up on that for awhile. Can't use factory ones since my cross member is up 5" and forward almost 2". I picked up some trusty yj bushings and have elected to make my own. The floor is cut out of the cab and the engine is plunked down in there. I just need to position the engine on blocks, square it up and start taking some measurements........And it's people like you that keep me thinking I should not waste my time with 305 and just pickup an LS...... I will, but not yet, need to make sure the truck 'works'

Re: Project Dukeshire

Picked up some older aftermarket box sides for what looked like a good deal. Hopefully this will give me some much needed motivation. Started making some engine mounts ended up going super simple.

Re: Project Dukeshire

I'll hang the body panels and get some better pics sometime......

Got the engine mounts sorted out, not what I have originally wanted, but should do with some bracing... Next is to mock up a tranny crossmember.

Re: Project Dukeshire

Made a Tranny crossmember with provisions for exhaust. The next big challenge is headers, being that the engine location has been modified truck ones hang too low. I didn't want to run headers, but I need to some that the steering shaft can go from the column to the rack.
Hung some panels to take some pics (new box sides).....

Re: Project Dukeshire

I found some headers that will work with slight modification (shorten them 3 in). Shoved it back in the shop put together so I can do some engine swaps (on Dodge vehicles so it's irrelavent) So she is on hold for a little bit.
