Anybody building/ racing a First gen Dakota??

I have an 88 with a 400. Formerly a 440 in it. Have the motor out again to mate a different 727. Mounts are spool over the crossmember with a considerable, maybe 3” offset to the pass side. The mounts on motor are spool and cut so the mount is offset forward. I plan on tubbing it. Planning to mount spring hangers on bottom of frame, boxed in.
