Jeep 4.0 in 69 Barracuda

Late happy holidays and Happy New Year.

To everyone,
I have exciting news to share. The oil pan has been modified and the engine is installed as of today. Steering linkage clearance issue has been resolved.

I believe the rear of the engine is sitting high a small amount in these pictures. Final fitment will be confirmed when I have the transmission installed in place. These pictures are with the steering turned to the left full. The oil pan is a sacrificial pan which was used for v1 mock up. I asked the welding shop to weld it up and not worry about pin holes as this is the mock up and a new oil pan and pictures will be provided for the final build. The new one will be tig welded instead of wire feed.
