So I finally bit the bullet and rented a workshop to continue on my car , got the 6.0 mounted to the trans and put it in the car just to find out the oil pan doesn't clear the crossmember so naturally pissed off I took the rear end out of the car to start fitting the rear disc brakes lol
Hey guys posting a little update on the car so far
been tinkering away with it here and there when I find time,
ended up pulling the body off again.. found a cleaner frame to start with and a good 12 bolt,
Frame sandblasted
Junkyard engine freshed up with cam, valve springs and head studs
Should have taken more pictures but engine is in new frame is underneath the car, wires Up the engine with a psi conversion harness and thats about it so far
Hey Jonathan, glad you checked in! Installing some modern muscle ... cool!

Jonathon, good to hear from you.
Great to see that you're still at it and making good progress.
By the time you get it mobile you'll be old enough to qualify for the antique insurance (lol)
Your a dedicated man!!Keep up the great work...you'll luv the LS power and fuel economy. Looking GOOD! Are you doing the LS install/wiring yourself? Takes a bit..but you'll know how she clicks when your done.
