well, thats kinda out of the picture. Having a mount fabricated. every thing else fits perfectly. May not even need to cut out a bunch on firewall-have a low profile snorkel.

Its a mallory magnetic trigger. just checked fitment and will need a few strikes with the sledge hammer. the carb fit, but needs a small trim for the low profile hat. will post pics when finished.

Car was a v6. Used a 1st gen because it was more readily available.

Swap

Hey man I'm doing the same swap, and I'm am just curious if you fabricated those motor mounts or who did and could they be duplicated for purchase? Thanks
