Hi Guys,
Time for this weeks installment of updates...
I was able to get the moch 351 block/AFR heads, bellhousing and
trans in to get a good feel for space. Had to redesign the whole
engine bay framework on-the-fly, as my initial CAD layout went
all to hell when I saw how the engine fit where I wanted it. Sacrifices
were made, and new concepts developed. I hope they prove worthy.
I expect natural selection to take it's course! My decisions are made
to favor, balance, strength, and occupant safety. Full on custom
build I guess it's going to be! All I can say, is that when it was all
tacked together, I was blown away with how much room there is...
in the cockpit, trans tunnel, engine bay... Even with the engine
moved several inches rearward over stock! I'll take this pleasant
surprise now. I'm sure I'll get nipped by the snake somewhere in
the rearend section (the irony).
Jeff, the body is currently a notorious one, but will be swapped out
for a new one next month that is nicer and more suited to what I will
be doing next!
Nick, yes the windshield is on and at a sexy little rake I might add.
it's leaned back the way it should have been built from the get go!!
40 degrees at center... Just need to finish the mounts for it.
Till next week.
Mike.
