Re: The Doc & Kim 69 build
looked back and saw I put this in moth balls just about 2 years ago ........ I had some time today ....got it jacked up so I could put the engine in the proper location ..you see I wasn't paying attention when I settled it in the frame back then and the cab wasn't on the frame then either or I would have seen how far from the fire wall it was sitting need to put it in the rear most position on the frame

Re: The Doc & Kim 69 build
I worked today to get those OEM engine stands out and used the after market ones I had looks like they will work ...motors moved back with fingers only between the fire wall and the distributor cap I will change the motor mounts tomorrow to the bolts through the center Camaro / Malibu style

Re: The Doc & Kim 69 build
I like this one! Why did you mothball this one to build the other?

I have already argued with myself over going the LS direction. I won the argument with logic... I picked up the remaned SB 350 and 2 700R4s for real short money some years ago and had the tranny rebuilt already 2 years ago ....I have thought about swapping out the front engine cradle cross member with a coil over unit to replace the tubular A arms etc. but logic won out I plan on spending the $$$s on paint and interior ...thanks for stopping by on this one Im looking forward to getting back at it
