Used up all the random length bolts i could round up for mock up. Now just need to print the final template and cut it out on some 3/8 plate...

Ill re-do the power steering plates later to incorporate an idler pulley for more crank belt wrap.. maybe un necesssry but why not..
Still need to sort out the motor mounts.. 3/8 plate to adapt gen5 to sbc... leaves a 1/4 inch or so between the booster and valve cover.. so tight, i cannot install the beauty cover

With this setup, I can keep the vacuum pump and not have to worry about vacuum although i have 2 l83 manifolds and going to try something with one amd post the results of the test
