I got one like it through a group buy over at SlantSix.Org. It's a Cloyes. Don't have the part number handy.

Looks great! I keep hearing about the "install from down under" method.....In my scenario, two bay garage with not a lot of depth or height, I keep wondering how I could do it this way but havent figured out a way at all yet.

VERY NICE looking setup. I hope mine will look 1/2 as nice when I'm finished with it.

I did the engine bay for Johnny. I'm still having nightmares about being trapped in the engine bay. LOL.

Looking great Johnny!!!

Thats funny you say that,because thats kind of the way I look at it with some builds.

You dont like it ? Perfect.....8)

Now put a 2 5/8" hitch ball in the middle of your spare. At car shows you can leave the trunk open & tell people you use it to tow your fifth wheel! :bootysha:

Car and motor are looking killer. Just wondering if you have a build thread for the motor Johnny.
Very well done.....

Dont really have a build thread.
What did you want to know ?

Man JOhnny you always build the clearest cars

Nice job on the motor especially. After installing a V-8 on a fully assembled K-member from down under, I wouldn't want to do it any other way.

Is there really any oher way ? lol

If you have never done it this way,it can seem overwhelming.
But once you have done it this way its like,well that was easy.

Having the proper rigs/dollies is the key. Plus a good buddy...8)

Here are some pics of my 70 build.

Hi George !
Some guy in the SoCal area painted it. Did a crappy job,pissed me off all the way through,but it is what it is. Problem was he didnt prep the car real well.
I would call it a 10 footer.....

Havent seen your new build in a while.
Hows it going ?
