Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"

Well Rian came over to give me a hand today . I had already managed to get the engine in place but had a bit of a dilemma . The engine in the forward position missed the cab but the headers hit the wishbone and touched the chassis . With the engine in the rear position it missed the headers but it would mean cutting the bulkhead . Not wanting to cut the bulkhead the headers were going to have to be cut . The look on Rian's face when I got out the grinder was priceless . After cutting one pipe on each header and fitting them back on the engine we tried it in and it fitted . So we dummied up the pipes with cardboard tube ready to replace them with steel once a template was made .











Here is a picture of the engine in place with the cab in place
