so been driving the v8 all summer now, finally got around to posting pics - I'm still so ****ing pissed that my phone destroyed the data for my pics - heres the piddly amount I have left - should be quadruple of what I have here - I'll have to post pics of what I did for the clutch, fuel, brake lines, how i modified the firewall, painted headers, painted engine, rad support ect the next time I yank the engine out,,,

car ready for swap - forgot how much narrow the stock tires were:

started cutting the firewall:

cut hole for shifter so I can run either w58 tranny, will need to make a better adapter plate next time I pull the motor:

skid plate made of 1/4" tubing

rad support braces off my bomber bar

with bumper on and hood closed:

engine installed:

made my own rad brace from 1/4" tubing, just fits under the hood and is still pretty light!
