Re: I Picked This Up Yesterday

Leon, I see you have notched the pass side frame rail to clear the A/C compressor. Just how much did you have to cut out?

Re: I Picked This Up Yesterday

I took a closer look at the photo and realized that is the factory bend in the frame rail. But, you will have to notch the frame rail to clear the A/C, won't you?

Bob,

I think it depends on where I set the engine, front to back and what frame mounts I use. I am going to set the engine in and check things out in the next week or so. Luckily I have a full range of choices on frame mounts. I have I6, V-8, '69-'71 big block, '72 big block, and '73 up mounts to choose from. I will post here which ones work the best for me when I get to that point.

Re: I Picked This Up Yesterday

Your panel looks awesome.

Man I thought I moved along at a pretty good clip on the weekends. You Sir and Movvvvvving.
I applaud your choice of motor. I have a 07 LS-2 crate motor in my 67 Chevelle and love it, especially since I opened it up a couple months ago & put a nasty cam in it.

Thinking LS-1 eventually in my 67 Shortbed Dually.

I will keep watch on your steady progress.

Thanks Guys. I will have a little slow down for the next few days. I go in for some minor surgery tomorrow. I should still be able to get some light work done during recovery. I have a lot of small stuff to clean & paint.
