The rear transmission cross member they make (POL) is going to take some work though. None of the holes line up and I'm not about to remove the cab just to get at the top of the frame to drill holes there. I may try to enlarge the holes in the brace to get them to line up.
The engine is at least in and now onto wiring, all the accessories, and radiator. I dropped off the drive shaft to have it re-tubed since it needs to be 3.5" longer. Maybe it will be running this weekend.
Still trying to figure out the throttle linkage which is too short to reach the Edelbrock 1406 lever. |
I used the same engine mounts for the LS1 engine swap.
