I picked up an engine this weekend, just a tired old 351W, but it was the last big puzzle piece I needed to finish out the chassis. It was pretty grimy when I picked it up, but after a little cleaning I can stomach looking at it for now. Here's how it looked when I brought it home
And all cleaned up, mocked in it's new home for the first time.
I think it will end up sitting closer to this height, and about 5" further back.
I'm thinking I'll run a remote oil filter setup to get rid of some of the clutter on the driver's side, because I still need room for my steering shaft. I'm really hoping to run longtubes, but it doesn't look like any off the shelf sets are going to fit. Not sure I'm up to the task of building my own headers yet, but I may have to give it a shot! That's all for now, I'm hoping to get started on my engine/transmission mounts this week.
