I didn't do the connectors yet because they haven't arrived yet but I will be using them, the ones I ordered are from US Cartool and they are made of 1/8 thick steel, should work nicely since they are contoured to follow and tie into the floor the same way the front and rear subframes are made. As for the sewing machine motor I guess it does look pretty small sitting 2 feet below the 340. It's a 289 for a 1968 Mustang I'm building for my daughter, It's been put on the back burner till the Duster is done. Sorry to all the die hard Mopar guys but I'm partial to Mopars and Ferds. No Chebby's allowed on the property!!!!!! Kev

I like the idea that you are going with the black on the engine instead of the orange. I painted my engine black and have got a bunch of comments about it. I'm not sure what you can do to make sure the paint sticks to the motor. Besides scuffing the paint a little bit then cleaning and then spraying it black... that's all I would know to do.

Make sure when you install the frame connectors that the car has the motor installed, seats, basically complete then have them welded in WITH THE CAR SITTING ON ITS OWN TIRES. Then have them welded in.
