More new parts/updates. I'd been looking for a cheap used bellhousing for mock up but those don't exist. Even checked with a local junkyard that checked in their database of ~8000 other junkyards and there were only two available nationwide, one at $200 and one at $240 plus shipping. I found that Tick Performance had new Tremec bellhousings for $199 shipped so I picked one up and it came today.
A guy called today wanting to buy the spindles, brakes, and steering parts that came with the frame so I'll order the No Limit rack kit if he buys my old parts. Gotta get new urethane body and engine mounts too so I can get the engine/trans mocked up and check for floor/firewall clearance.
I'm undecided on sectioning the crossmember 1.5" for more control arm clearance at ride height. I wanted to set the engine as low as possible by notching the crossmember for the oil pan but... dropping the whole truck 1.5" might be more effective at lowering the center of gravity? I doubt I can do both since the rack is mounted on the front of the crossmember. I guess I'll need all the parts in front of me to know for sure.
Have I rambled enough yet?
