What do you plan on doing with your coil packs and wires? What K-member are you using? BMR turbo? If you still have ABS, how did you relocate it?

That is a really nice setup. I like the symmetry, I am rather OCD about those sort of things.

Well, since you did't answer my question about who built it. I will take a good guess.

Shearer Fabrications is located in Cleveland, Ohio.
The kit looks the same as OFI kit built by Joel of Ohio, who ripped off people and took a hide.
Conclusion is, Shearer Fabrications hired the SOB to build OFI kits for their customers.

WOW STOP RIGHT THERE.
I did not answer your question because it is a non-sponsor shop.
It should be obvious by my sig and first post who built the kit.
Joel is not associated with this kit nor would Ron ever be associated with Joel nor would I. I have known Joel for years and he was and will always be a doughe bag
In addition it is simular to the OFI kit but there are many things that make this stand out.
Now back on topic
Thanks for all the kind words.
I put the engine and trans back in yesterday and found the trans bracket I bought to fit the powerglide doesnt work.
Here is a picture of the car starting to be lowered over the engine.
I will probably just retrofit the stock bracket.

This will be my only post on this. Where the **** do you get off flapping at the gums like that? Make an effort to educate yourself, even just a little bit, before you make any stupid accusations such as this. If Joel were to ever walk into my business he would likely be tied up and held hostage until some of the people he owes money to could get here so he could be beaten with a stick. And to anyone who gets the chance to compare the JUNK he built compared to our product will clearly see that he does not work here. Cheers.
