How's your front to back clearance? That slant 6 has got to be somewhat longer then the OG 6.

I really wanted to put one of those in my Dodge. That was before all the frame issues started.

So I'm think'n you grab a slant 6 and S10 and we figure this out together. Now how we gonna get my my S10 donor back there. [S [

 

[joedoh]

plenty of room!

I know I said it before but the slant 6 is one of my all time fav engines. [cl[cl

 

[Burgerman]

Donor taking up too much room. Time for a shorty. This fuel tank is not attractive. Will attach the rear axle right behind the cab. Roller is good.

tank

not sure what you have planned for the gas tank

on my pilot house the one we used is a 25 gallon square aluminum boat tank mounted right in the front of the bed.

my buddy has a marine salvage/repiar shop and l get mine from him.

some where up there should be a place to get a tank.

l put the battery under the old skool boat tank from the 197O's to hide it, ran the fuel line and battery cables thru a holes l drilled thru the wood, put grommets on everything so no rub thru problems.

Gonna do a tank in the front of the bed like you did Skull. I'm think'n marine or beer keg style. Just thought the tank I pulled from the donor was so ugly had to include a picture.

 

[Burgerman]

Donor has been reduced in size. Got more room to work.
