Just seeing how the engine would fit with my 1 inch RL Tranny raise. Had to make a few cuts but we got it in. And yeah I know the carbs are in backwards I just put them in to see if the deck lid would close. After I screwed them in I was like mehn to hell with it.

Looks nice

Looking great! How did the tranny raise effect your shift rod and shift coupler? Any clearance issues there?

Looks good!

Thanks Bro, a work in process.

Looking nice!!

A bus nose cone puts it right back in alignment. I bought a brand new tranny from Rancho and just changed the nose cone and there are no issues.

Thanks Mk-Zero & Nate. I need to figure out how I will keep the heat off the apron. There are a few thing I was told. One is a Stanless steel sheetmetal that attches to the header and the other are these heat resistant pads sold at summit.

I like to use header wrap. I have had excellent results with it. There have been times when I have accidentally touched my headers and it has saved me from getting burned.

I'll def look into that and explore all options. Thanks.
