got the motor set in on Saturday. The stuff for the motor mounts and tranny mount should be here tomorrow.
there is plenty of room all around except where the steering box is. we cant bring the engine any farther back because of the front sump and we cant use a rear sump because the tranny tunnel is too narrow to put the whole tranny in it.

Very cool. It really is one of the cooler cars to see in person. There was a real one at a show here a few years ago. Original one was started from a 1955 Ford Lincoln Futura concept car.
Good luck with your build, we want video!!!!

i would perfer either of my other builds. the car is cool but we are taking a big engine bay and put in a relativley small motor. To me its all about the challange of the swap and this one isnt really challanging. Im not gonna lie and say this thing isnt going to freaking cool when its done though.

x10 on one of the coolest builds on this site. The challenge is going to be answering all the questions any time it leaves the garage.
