Got the small block out of the way, and got the mounts cut out. Will be running a motor plate on the 440.

It’s a manual, leaving it as is… truck was originally a 4 cylinder 5 speedAre you going to hook up the rack-n-pinion ? Or just use it as manual steering?

Wow Man! Nice!
Sorry For Your Loss, That's an AWESOME ride. RIP...My buddy (rip) put a 413 in a Dakota, there is actually a good bit of room in the engine compartments.
His dad finished the truck after he passed.

Thank you! I’m gonna say short answer is no they aren’t wide enough. But if I was dead set on that, we can make anything work ….my plan is to stick a Abody front hanger on the bottom and go like that, probably plate the open side of the frame above it. That’s my tentative plan…Are the frame rails wide enough to where you can box them on the inside and cut the bottom off just enough for spring travel? If so, you could drill 2 or 3 holes to have adjustable height on the front of the springs. Nice work so far!
I had originally debated doing a similar idea as yours but was actually looking at moving the spring hanger to the opposite side on the inside. Would need to notch for spring travel that way as well..Are the frame rails wide enough to where you can box them on the inside and cut the bottom off just enough for spring travel?
