Re: New to me 85 Short Bed

I had to notch about a 1x1 inch square out of the frame for A/C lines but yes I wil have room when I put it all back together.

I ordered my mounts from a guy on this forum. If you have a facebook, his shop is called Tejas Steelworks. I got my transmission crossmember from them to.

They are just Hooker LS exhaust manifolds, I forget the part number right now.

And I ordered a harness from Current Performance Wiring.

Re: New to me 85 Short Bed

Could you have used your crossmember from your truck?

Wow....one pic its a complete truck, the next its having open heart surgery!! Lol. Ifbyou don't like the rear bumper (nor do I on them!) you can use a K5 bumper....much smoother looking.

Re: New to me 85 Short Bed

Your engine looks very far forward compared to my 5.3 swap. I'm about 1/2" back from the stock location and the bracket had to be cut for the AC compressor to clear the cross member and engine mount bracket. Are you on slider mounts and in the full forward position?
