Re: Matt's 56 3600 4X4 Build

looking back i think i mounted my engine too far forward. the harmonic balancer is almost hitting the front factory crossmember. would have to modify the crossmember to run any belts. thinking my best option is to relocate my engine and trans custom crossmembers about 3-5 inches towards the rear. thoughts?

another question I have for you guys is the best way to repair the "eyebrow" where the windshield meets the roof? Replace the whole roof or piece it together with patches?

I moved my engine back about 3.5 inches and up about a half inch. There is plenty of clearance now and I think it is sitting in a much better location. I will post some new pics soon.
