Got the frame sandblasted and tried to fit the engine in the car then decided yup I will move get the KWIK brackets I want AC too and cannot get the Edelbrock headers to fit with the alternator down low. I also dont want to raise the engine up so high that the trans is forced extremly close to the trans tunnel against the floor, one just because tight fit and 2 heat from trans into passenger compartment.
The rear end had adapters thought they were for 5 x 475 they were still 5 x4.5 wierd? must have been used for 1 inch spacers pretty goofy. So the meats are the only wheels I had laying around that had the right bolt pattern, good for visuals I guess. Gonna have the Axles bolt pattern redrilled for 4.75 I live about 20 minutes from Dutchman so that will work out great. Although they are kinda expensive compared to others
Here is what I did today from a bare frame and messing with the car too
Will have to change the upper mounts on the rear end to the proper tab and bushing no big deal
Well cannot do a whole lot more until my PST bushings come in then I can assemble the A Arms and mock up the front suspension to make sure my steering linkage is going to clear the pan ok before I go painting an putting everything in stone.:rock:
