so got some work done today. got the motor installed, just have to final weld everything and add a pair of support gussets to the motor mount posts and final weld the trans crossmember in. from there ill add additional body bracing behind the crossmember to help sturdy everything.
tho i did run into complications, firewall will have to be dished in about 5" to help clear and give room for everything, tho 5" is generous, for i dont want cramping behind the motor. tomorrow im going to cut down some 1x1 and start the skeleton for the final firewall and floor. the floor was close, tho it just needed a bit of flaring by the feet to fit the trans pan with safe space around. still plenty of foot room hopefully once all is said and done. more pics will come of interior as i complete tomorrow.
