Re: The Project Havoc....

So i have got a bit more done on the frame now, i got my new transmission crossmember made and mounted in, i believe that i like it, still unsure, but it will work well for me. i then tried using a set of headers i had laying around and it is for sure now that i have to buid a set of headers, so i ordered a set of Hooker flanges and pipes and collectors, 1 7/8" primaries. The motor mounts from cpp hit the headers, so they may want to rethink their design. While i was at i moved the engine and transmission back 3" for better weight distribution. Once that was all done i bolted up my front suspension to see if i had any problems with things hitting, i do have to modify one mount yet for the power steering box. once that was done, i took some DOM tubing and installed it in the boxed rails for the powersteering box. just to add some strenght for the quick ratio box. once that was all done i just had to see what kind of height the frame would sit at on the ground. i know the frame e little lower yet once there is all the weight on the truck, but so far i am exrtemely happy, it feels like i am getting somewhere, anyways that was quite a novel to on to some pics.
