Jelly257: My cowl looks like yours does as well. I had originally cut something like LS135th's did but it was way to hard to reach everything. I test fit the motor and I knew right away most of it had to go. Did you chop the cowl all the way to the 90 degree bend into the fire wall?

Can you pull the distributor with the engine in the car?

Looks good,

Any advantage to using a motor plate? I see you used the mounts on the k member. Looks awesome I'm starting mine soon, did you use a manual steering rack and pinion?
