What kind of ground clearance are you looking at and what's gonna be the lowest hanging point?? (exhaust, frame rails, suspension components, oil pan?)
Great work especially for a first time project.
Dude, you ain't scared to break out the sawzall and the torches are ya now?
I especially like the way you decided to chop the rack and pinion steering to make it fit.
Problems such as that would make most guys want to give up on their project altogether, but not you.
Very impressive skills you have there.
Just curious...do you do fabrication type work for a living?
I liked your answer for the guy that asked about GM parts.
After all the crap that is going on with foreign competition it seems "American" is a dying breed so anything American bolted on these cars is a good thing regardless of brand name, and you sometimes gotta put parts on the car that are a little cheaper on the wallett especially when you are truly "building" a car like you are as opposed to restoring, or restifying one like most guys are.

The frame will be the lowest point it will be 5" off the ground this is also the rocker height. The exhaust will run through the frame. The engine is about 2" higher than the bottom of the frame I need to clear the steering rack. I tried to move the engine back further and lower it but I cannot get the steering past the oil pump. I have the 10lbs of **** in a 5lbs bag issue.
I thought the motor looked high.
That's killing you. The bottom of a stock pan should be level with the bottom of the frame. Are you saying it's 2" above the bottom of the frame?
Can you run an external pump or something remote?
You missed some. I am also using a honda altenator, pedal assembly from a ranger, the steering rack is for a mustang, rear sway bar from a saturn and I am sure this list will grow until I am done. At what point is it my car and not a the manufacturers.:supz:
That's some crazy sh*t you got going on there, vary cool, also a bit over my head.
With the engine/trans back so far wont that effect the handling dynamics, with the center of gravity moved so far back. Just wondering, totally respect the no holds barred approach. Cant believe I've missed this post, I will make sure to watch for it now. Keep up the good work!!
you know with that engine set back so far all that room up in the engine bay does make space for a turbo set up.........
