mock up today

(1/1)

sandhopper2:
Got some work done today on Mockup engine to trans . 1/4 in motorplate to connect the VW to shorty powerglide. Looks like total lenght will be around 44" from pully to rear housing. Now I need to find the couplers to connect the trans to the Ford 9" rear.

sandhopper2:
After the couplers are completed then it will be time to modify back half so engine will fit and I think I can shorten it by about 10" . The top rail will be bent down for engine then back up for rear end . Picture found to show mod

the one I did for Mike Ballard. Frame rails over the engine bolted on.
