put the new motor in, see how it sat and fitted, also to set up tailshaft and diff heights and degrees for the rear end. What we noticed is the 454ss chevy, the engine is 1.5 inchs to the passenger side U S A style,now i know why i had bugger all room when i converted it from left to right hand drive.So out with the welder again to make new engine mounts to center the engine.If i did'nt when the hat goes through the bonnet it would have all been off center.As it sits now the engine sits spot on. ( note 2 different size engine mounts)

finally finished the 4 link, set up the bags 7" slam specialist as it sits in photos is in ride height , just need to finish all the pipe work and shocks. Next thing is a dummy run of installing the fuel cell , fuel pumps, filters, run fuel ,air and brake lines to see how it all works and looks. Also need to buy 2no 22" x 10 + 2no 22" x 8 wheels ,any feedback on dealers or stockists to talk to, would be appreciated. as the wooden wheels won't get me far, thanks
