Any other scratch builders using a small block?
Just wondering if any of the other scratch builders are using a small block in your build?
I'm building a 351W/393 stroker for my build and I would like to trade some information back and forth if anyone is interested. I think I found that my engine is going to have to be raised from the position I have the engine mounts built for, so I'll be taking care of that before I start fabbing up my headers- hopefully next week.
I'm quickly becoming an expert at building this car as I think I have done just about everything on this car at least twice! 
Also, when I was checking for clearance for my trunk metal, I ran the suspension through it's travel and only then did I discover that my rear suspension (designed by me with no skills whatsoever) has absolutely terrible geometry. I think I am going to have to relocate the upper control arm pick up points to take care of this. Guess I'll be spending some time at the drawing board testing new points with mock-ups until I find one that works.....
