I think thats less than 2' from the fuel tank so should make for a short run of hose.

Nice and clean and ready for paint

Ready to bolt on the engine adapter plate.

I'm going to get a set of poly mounts before I put the engine in for good.

Decided to run both supply and return, and if I need to ditch the Corvette filter/reg in the future I'm all set to do it easily while the body is on the car.

I ran out of clamps (because I never planned to need more with my old plumbing plan).

Just an excuse to show off the engine

Luckily there isn't that much undercoat and the messiest part of the belly was removed when I replaced the floor pans.

The rear is mostly dusty. Whoever sprayed the undercoat missed a ton of stuff and the gas tank was in the way.

Took about an hour or so to get all situated under the car and scrape this off. I used a propane torch for some of it but most of it came off with a putty knife.

The majority of the undercoat is in the wheel well. No rust to be found so far, just red oxide paint/primer and overspray from the factory paint.

Thats the factory color, light blue I believe, its not bare metal even though it looks that way in pics

I'm still scared to tip it a lot (and the fenders are on the bed cover right now)

This plate will get spot welded to the tunnel, after I weld nuts on the back to bolt the shifter onto

Its just going to put the shifter up off the floor a half inch or so that way I don't have to bolt directly through the floor.

Subtle and it looks right at home.

Of course I couldn't help trying out the T-handle for that 70s vibe.

Decided the simplest mount would be the best mount.

I had to cut out a couple spots on the factory brace for my mount to fit.

I stitch welded it in, then I added the extension on the rear portion and I added a brace on the passenger side so its solid.

Started to fill the little holes on the firewall

The old fuse panel was removed long ago for an aftermarket one so this hole is totally useless and hard to seal up.

I'm basically stacking tack welds around until its all welded.

I'm not sure if its practice or the welder but I'm getting the hang of this. The prep work and fitting the piece is really crucial too.

Pretty much hidden, just needs a skim coat of filler.

I hate filling these round holes, the square one was much easier.

Same process, I still need to grind down these welds.

I'm going to cut out a panel to cover the HVAC hole and I'll build a cowl gutter extension to go on top. I'm not going to weld this one in, I'll just bolt it in like original.

I don't remember why I got this piece of metal at the steel yard but I know I spent $6 on it and it sure came in handy today.

Kind of a pain to cut out with a grinder, but the belt sander cleaned it up pretty well.

So that about finishes off the frame!

I'm glad I didn't have to reuse any of the old parts I pulled off the car at least.
