here is the Head clearence between the firewall on the passenger side. There is more room then the drivers side because of how the floor is molded on the body.

Here is the clearence between the smog pump and the frame.....

Good Lord!! I wish i could go out and buy all this stuff, then go out and buy new toys for my projects!!

Looks like it's coming along great. Also looks like you know what you are doing which helps

 

[Black Magic]

Cheif, That looks like it is comming along great! Keep up the good work!

 

[donaldbc]

that is great thanks for all the pics

 

[sirhk100]

That's cool, yeah you're only like 10-15 minutes away. I'd like to come by and check it out sometime when it gets closer to completion...

Whats really funny about that is when Cheif first registered on the board there were alot of people doubting his claim of a 5.0 swap and everything else...it is just really nice to see someone pull through and prove people wrong!!! Good work! I am jeleous as hell!

 

[Chief34]

heh, Well thanks for the compliments. I am working on it like crazy so I can play with it. Anyway, My James duff oil filter relocation kit came today. Now that everything is in that I ordered I guess that means time to order more stuff Anyone who wants to check it out just let me know when. Until then I'll keep postin pics. I am going out to work on it now so I will have some more pics later tonight.

Late,
Tim
