This morning I sat the hemi in there to start getting an idea how it's going to go. Now I need to put the steering column in so i can get the steering back on to set the engine height.
Here's why the X member will need to be redone. This trans is pretty dang long compared to the TH400 that was in here before.
I'll pull the engine back out after I make a mark on the fire wall so I can start cutting for the bell housing clearance. Once I get the engine and trans where I want it, I can remove the body and get to the X member.Ryan

I wore a camouflage T-shirt once. The response in the pub was "Oooh, it's a floating head!" .
