Default My buddies 72 Chev Shorty progress

Heres a few pics of his frame off resto that he's doing. 2000 LS1/4l60e combo. Custom bend exhaust(being changed again). Motor mounts are custom made, tranny crossmember is factory. Sanderson headers. Autometer Phaton gauges and tons more. Once the box gets put on the truck I'll take more pictures.

They are specifically for this swap I believe. Sanderson was quite the screw around though. Clearance issues... Not even close to hitting anything from what I remember.

Wow, great progress and looking good. I am also using Sanderson headers on my swap, we are moving one of the pipes to get them to fit. I have had great service from them, I called to order a U-bend to do our modification and the guy is also tossing in some extra pieces to help us finish it up. Once we are done with the mods, I can send it back and they will ceramic coat them for me for $120. Not a bad deal to me. I found that if you can get past the kinda grumpy lady that usually answers the phone they are pretty good to work with. You can see pics of the ones I got in the link in my sig.
