Dude! Looks great, lots of work here!

**Advanced Design** · 09-08-2015, 01:33 PM

Very nice! Tagging along. What did you use for the engine and transmission mounts?

68Timber · 09-08-2015, 01:59 PM

Did you make that trans cross-member or buy it?

Misled · 09-08-2015, 05:43 PM

I am using the Holley/Hooker swap parts (oil pan, engine mounts, trans crossmember, front accessory drive). So far, they have worked well. I plan to use their exhaust manifolds and exhaust that is made to fit well in the tranny crossmember.

Misled · 10-11-2015, 08:14 PM

Got some more powder done and got the drive accessories installed.

**1774btcrew** · 10-12-2015, 11:09 AM

Wow! That is looking really good!

Misled · 10-13-2015, 09:58 PM

....a little more powder from my buddy at Central Ohio Powdercoating Service

Misled · 01-03-2016, 06:02 PM

Not much progress, but at least it is moving forward!!!

aggie91 · 01-04-2016, 11:15 AM
