Good looking bracket, I can literally stand and jump on mine when its mounted to the car. Very similar idea.

got a couple things done this weekend. what a piece of junk that trick flow timing chain dampener bracket its. I had to do all sorts of tweaking to that thing to get it from contacting the oil pump.




it was about this point that I realized I used the wrong o ring on the oil pick up tube


what does everybody do for engine placement? I centered it between the frame rails nad leveled it side to side but what degree do you have going back?


going to start building the framework this week? is a problem to favor a little bit to one side to make room for a battery?


got part of the garage painted... color matched the stripe to the car

yeah there is a ton of room for all sorts of activities lol. I try not to hack or cheap out on anything. ive learned the hard way cheaping out doesn't pay in the long run. Id rather take longer to build the car and have good parts!
