Well, quite a bit more work has gotten done in the last week. Frame is 95% done. Oil tank mount done, fuel/oil line designs are done in our head anyway. Since Friday, we set engine in bay enough to see it will fit. Thanks goodness. The high port heads are going to make header construction easier. They'll come over the frame rails, giving us more room underneath for oil lines.

Here's a pic of the body with engine suspended in prep for motormount install. They are now fabbed up along with trans mount.


Here's a some pics showing oil pan clearance next to frame rail. Motor mount and dry sump pump visible as well. Hopefully the line won't be too tough to run to the rear of car.




A couple of interior pics shows tons of space, at least until we start putting stuff in there, dash, seats, AC, wiring, etc...





This week, we should have lots more parts in. Fuel tank, radiator, hard lines for oil/gas, brake components, plus much more. A little more fitting and frame will be ready for paint. Then we can start bolting stuff on for real.
