Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

The only difference between the BBC and SBC Dropmember are the motor mount tabs on the crossmember. The BBC tabs are 3/4" taller.

It's looking killer Mike!

Hey man.... I pay attention (it's the only thing I can afford to do).

The visual inspect would be to verify EXACTLY where the steering shaft intersects the engine compartment vs stuff hanging off the front of the engine. It would seem I have some 1-off brackets that I want to verify the possibility of fitting/using.

Since you asked and since I have known Porter for awhile now I can saftly say you mounted it wronge. Wronge truck that is, I just went out and checked all of mine and you definetly mounted it in the wronge truck
Looks great! I like your rims! Any pics or the rear and what are you doing out back to match the front?

He was giving you a hard time... you didn't mount it on one of HIS trucks, so you installed it on the wrong truck.

It's installed correctly.
