Re: 53 3100 - complete rebuild and upgrade . . . .

keep it up!


I am very interested where your motor ends up. I am helping a guy with a 52 MII and 6.2, and from what I can tell he is screwed. his motor is mounted low and forward, not out of necessity but out of laziness of the shop that did it, the exhaust manifolds want to occupy the space of the frame and for the life of me I cant see how a steering shaft would even begin to fit, even with 4 u joints and a heim. they used ford style outrigger mounts. I told him the motor needs to come up at least 2" and back another 1 or 2. we are trying camaro manifolds next week but I doubt it will help.
