And I yours............
Planning a cruise to SAAC37 this year, maybe you are up for the event with the NH guys.... :D

Just got my Webers dialed in & popped another head gasket. I need to pull my motor & have it gone through. Don't know when it'll be on the road again, but I know we're up for some East Coast sight seeing.

It's getting crowded up in that neck of the woods;)! Quite the switch there Hyde... sent a PM.
Looking good Jeff. I'm looking forward to seeing it in person, as well.

Jeff it is looking good. Question about your bellhousing..Is it for a large or small flywheel and is it aluminum or iron. I have been working on my coupe and it will be no fun to get the engine and trans in and out. I think I will have to install the engine first and then the trans from the inside. Something else is the engine on your car centered in the frame or offset. On the coupe the engine is lowered 1 inch and offset 1 inch to the passenger side. Do you have the driveshaft yet. Is so how long is it . center to center of ujoint. They appear to be verry short.....6 to 8 inches. I kind of think I should have built a car similar to yours. I might have a hard time getting in and out of a coupe. Mark

Hi Mark, his drivetrain is like 427 offset 1/2" to right. Lesher with the old CCX/Upstate Coupe narrowed the frame at the rear to sit beside it and get some headroom.

Nick are you saying that 289 leaf spring cars have the engine offset 1/2 to the right? Mark
