Fresh from machine shop

Heads/cam installed


Cut my CD009 bellhousing and installed Collins adapter with t56 bellhousing

First mockup bolted in, sat too far forward. I moved it back two inches at the trans before making the motor mounts,




This is the subframe cut out, before reinforcing the backside, I will also be reinforcing it more once the details are finished up.

Here you can see the oil pan almost touching the subframe, and the trans cut, collins adapter, t56 bellhousing bolted, clutch/flywheel installed.

I cut the corners and welded plate in for clearance

I cut the shifter cradle and linkage to line up after I moved the trans back.

engine sitting back now

these headers didnt end up fitting right, so ordered different ones
