Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
Got cab back today--some shots of top of dash--took second shot with a paint paddle installed in front of riser to show how much angle of dash has changed from stock--in stock belair top of the opening is touching paint paddle--in other words --the face of dash is normally flat --that's what the pain was all about --getting the angle i wanted sitting in truck!! Anyone want to guess what else has to happen?? Yep I have to back-cut and tweak $300 worth of new bezels--not for the faint of heart but got 2 have the look!!!............jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
Jim... I am having the same problem with the oil pan hitting the rack. Did you find a resolution for this? I shimmed the rack out about an 1/8" and it looks like it should be fine. but it is still really close. Nate said he is going to try and send me new plates for the motor mounts to lift the motor another 1/8" or so.

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
Well been doin' honey dews but got 6 liter and 4l80 detailed and reinstalled for mockup with new f-body pan-Must say that this pan definitely gives the clearance I needed for dropmember -Got a call into Nate to see if I can lower this another 3/4" with different mounts or different truss supports--big azz 4l80 needs all the lowering it can stand-any more than 3-4* drop in this motor and it looks "nose high" to me --The intakes for these motors don't have any "rake" in them like small blocks do in the carb mount flange-so every thing on top of motor sits down in rear (or "tilted" down in rear)-Just trying to get used to that (Old school here!!)
Anyway-got this thing painted to have a "machined" look (don't pay attention to crank pulley-it's leavin") --New satin nickel color from gm-with flattened clear--Although I wanted it flatter but I was experimenting with additives!! Ls6 intake coming this week along with new rearend from Moser-Is it just me or are any of ya'll having problems with outside help--Tried getting rearend work out of guy and after getting stalled about 2 months-just bit the bullet and ordered what I needed-will sell the stock rear on here later!!..ok rant over .....have a good week...........jim
