Mine turned out pretty well, I kind of bugger welded a few spots, but I had a good root pass in my defense. I just went over a couple spots twice so I can grind down the weld and have it look a little better than a gap.

Painted the insides of the fenders so they match the firewall and frame

Also painted all the stuff for the pedals so they don't get any more rust on them

I dropped a new to me bed on the dually to get rid of the caddy lights and generally speed up the project

I got my steering figured out with the Camaro Column and the Jeep Cherokee Shaft. Just need to make a plate to close up the firewall hole.

The engine and transmission actually fit! Who would have thought I'd get this right after all this time?

The engine and transmission physically fit in the space, but there is a problem.

For some reason its like the engine is too wide, or the mounts are...

So I started with some 1/4" plate to build a new clamshell out of

I was originally just going to replicate the original clamshell, but shorter.

I decided instead to do away with the adapter completely and just build an adapter with a mount on it, so less bolts and a more simple design overall

They work the same as the originals

Its all 1/4" plate so its hopefully strong enough (its overbuilt bu a fair bit I think)

My only complaint is how hard it is to work with 1/4" material. Its about as thick as I'd ever want to weld, and I only did it because I could weld both sides. Its also a pain to cut and drill even with a bandsaw and drill press.

The engine is in the "stock" location and its the same height it should have been with the factory mounts. Plus the F-body headers dropped right in from the top!

The headers need to be modified a little, especially the direction of the collector on the drivers side. One nice thing was the 4L80e fit without any issues at all!

Figured something like this would work to bolt in like stock but meet NHRA rules

Its all in there for now, I'll do the final cleaning and finishing once I get a driveshaft.

I wanted to bead roll that square, but its too small of a flat spot to really do much to add strength
