Finally doing an update! I thought I had more pictures but I guess not... had to take a break to get my gambler500 car ready and do a bunch of work on the house. I feel like ive made pretty good progress tho, getting back at it again!
put the car on the scales just because. No engine, and it was just 1 scale in the back.
you can somewhat see bracing finished up by the control arms, upper and lower. Also got the frame notched out for the steering rack and boxed back in. The steering rack is a bit tighter than I had hoped... Guess I did something wrong on that lol. It does fit but not easy to get it in place!
JUST about where the engine and trans is going to sit. Its currently within an 1/8" side to side, angle is within 1* with the rear diff. Just need to get a measurement on the driveshaft angle still but I think it will be correct.
Just a quick mockup, I was curious. That transmission is massive...
I have parts to build engine/trans mount parts in the mail, Need to swap my tail housing on the transmission to the fbody style before I can do the trans mounts tho.

This thing is wild! That V8 fits in there nicely. Will be the ultimate sleeper.
