Do you have enough clearance to get the valve cover off, if the need ever arises ?

Appreciate you noticing that Iron. Need more clearance indeed.

Got a 6 inch drop from back of trans to rear end. Drive line will be 4 ft long. I'm think'n this is too much. The slant 6 sat lower in the wider donor truck chassis.

Could gain an inch drop with 2 inch move to the rear...but more cab intrusion. I do have a nice flathead...was saving for next project.

That number should improve with full weight on.

Yep, just keep moving forward [P[P[P

Looks great!

Drop doesn't matter, just the final angles you end up with at each end of the driveshaft. You could be alright where it's at, but won't know until all the weight is on the suspension.

Thanks guys. Gained some ground with test weight. Moving forward.

 

[Burgerman]

Lowered the engine another inch. Was not happy with where it sat so i'm making new mounts...again. I guess I need the practice. The boss wants her garage stall back. I'm slow, but moving forward, need to move quicker.

 

[Torchie]

Keep at it!
