Firewall is looking good. Are you going to keep your heater?

for now no....but def need something in there if I want to drive it....thinkin vintage air down the road....and I need to do somethin with the wiper motor too....

[mooseknuckles]

dropped the motor in today for a quick look at things to see if there is going to be any issues......

[mooseknuckles]

dropped right in like it was meant to be in there....lots of clearance all around, oil pan sits just above the crossmember with lots of room, could easily drop it another 1 1/2", but not going to...the headers fit like a glove...they dont hit anything, and are going to be just above the 2x4" in the frame, so when its lay'd out it wont be sitting on the headers.....

more....
