not really, put it on the transport rims, hell, even just put it on the axles, and use a forklift or the arms on a 2 post lift, already been thinkin bout it my friend ;)
 






Looks real good man....;)

Just get yourself a rope ladder and pull it up once you get in.!!
 


















got alot of my brake stuff, but still gotta get the rotor and calipers to put it all on, also go brand new boots and rings, and looks like might be holding off on installing the M37 case till i go bigger motor ;)

haha thatd be funny as hell.

heh, most likely i could, but i would have to weld on a mount system onto the rims, and then bolt it to that, cause i dont think they make rockwell pattern spinners
 






interesting info, looked up the specs of the tire, 9.00R20 equals out to 40.1-40.9" tall(depending on location of info) and about 10.5 wide :-D , doing the math, thats 20.5 radius, so a 46 is 23 and a 49 is a 24.5, makes ya think dont it :)
 






Damn ^^ I was about to say I thought it was going to be bigger than that, but I had no idea those tires were ~40" tall!
 






does anyone know which motor is small dimensionally, a 350SBC or a 302 SBF , trying to cram one of them in htere without having to do a bodylift and keep A/C
 






I would guess the ford is smaller. I know in jeeps the ford motor fits in easier then teh chevy does. Also the chevy has a rear distriputer which could be a real PIA to get to, where the ford has a front one. That thing is huge. Still not sure I like those real tall blocks/spring perches but if it works then so be it.
 






its actually perches/stands that are welded all the way around, it wraps around the sides of the axle so it cannot move any, trust me, it wont move

I think the concern with the perches is not that they will shift, but that having such a large displacement from the axle centerline to the spring mount puts a lot of torque on the springs. Usually, large blocks between the axle and spring will result in lots of spring wrap because of this torque.
