Very nice. What oil pan did you go with? I'm doing a similar install 1970 Camaro.

Thanks

i went with gmpp muscle car pan and though it fits well the deep side of the pan sits about 2in lower than the front frame member and that's a little scary

4th gen F-body pan is what you want. www.paceperformance.com has great prices That pan and "1 inch setback " swap plates . This is with SBC stands being you're a '70. I have a old swap with a 70 Camaro and a LY6 showing pics. Try a SEARCH if interested.

The Holley 302-2 pan will sit even with the cross member on a '67 if the mounts and stands are correct...

Use of the Hooker engine brackets will achieve that characteristic and allow installation of a low-mount A/C compressor also.

Wanted to see how you like this set up after a few months? Have the same motor but it's a ways out from running. Also looking for a measurement from the valley cover to the top of the air filter, nor sure if it will fit under my hood. The build is looking great so far!

Beautiful car. Is your tuner making jet changes? Dynographs have to be taken with a grain of salt but if that is a accurate representation then you need some adjustments. At 3,500 rpm it should be nearing 500. Looks like a bigger pump and jet changes would net you some huge gains throughout the rpm range. A/F need to be 12-12.5 to 1.

Please let "US" know what you think of this motor/setup,

my thoughts too on that tranny?......do you plan on going efi? Car looks great. .....looked great to begin with might I add! Awesome work!
