Not sure it would work with studs holding the trans in, you would need pretty long studs to go through the bellhousing, and trans shield - dont think there would be enough room to back the trans off the studs and clear the firewall.

Im re-doing all the brake lines, but keeping it along the K-member, with a motorplate you wont be dropping the K out to get the engine.

There's barely enough room, I've seen it on one car, so I know the studs will work.

If you do what John from tsp did and fab the mid plate into the firewall, and inlarge the trans tunnel for say 6 inches or so, you'll have plenty of room, making tranny removal a 1 man job on your back a 20 min deal... which is what I'm aiming for.

Only thing that would make it easier, would be a removable tunnel, something else I've actually considered.

Looks really good!!! I like the hood corners... I've got the same hood and I'm gonna be doing something similar to what you did.

Awesome looking car! I love the way the cowl is done. I just got done cutting mine today the same way, i'm using the old Wiper motor spot for a little hideaway compartment too.

This thread is way to short for how nice this car is. Exactly how I want mine to turn out, racepak and full interior. Nice job.

Can you mount the carb sideways?
I bet It would make more power with a spacer or 2 (or3) under it.

looks real nice !
