That's an awesome setup. Where are you actually moving the coils to? I have a 67 bird, the truck manifolds don't work on it either without hitting the upper control arms. I was hoping they'd fit... =\

little weekend work.. took every thing apart to place the 4l80 in and finalize motor placement. the trans mount need to go back a a lot being that the 80e has a trans mount at the far end of the trans... having the sub frame out makes this task much easier, i didn't want to cut the original trans mount up so i decided to mod the sub frame so that i can put any GM trans in the car. i also not happy with the hot side cross over so i will be cutting that all apart and doing it all over..

enjoy!


also some new parts!

well cross over 2.0 is about done.. i am pretty happy with the way it turned out. the only thing is that the tube had to go under the rad support and will be in view under the car, but it was the only way i could go about it. i also got on with mounting the gate, it will exit under the car.


i am sure i will get questions about the radiator hoses i am going to have to angle the lower rad outlet to make it clear but that is not a problem!


enjoy !










oh and yes it hits the balancer. it is just slid on the crank i needs to be pressed back one about a half and inch it should clear.. if you look at were the power steering pump is that is how far back the balancer goes
