Sounds like a great build, Ben. The new gen small blocks are becoming more and more popular. Brian (forum member a.k.a. Xeen) is doing a somewhat similar project and has a build thread. He's had quite a time getting the engine in the location he wants. There are several combinations of adapters and perches, each with its own set of headaches. However, they look great when all the stars line up.

When you get ready to weld your brackets on, keep in mind that I have a line-up bar. Normally use it for narrowing rearends, but lots of times when you weld perches and/or shock mounts on those tubes, they draw a lot. Can make it almost impossible to get the axles in and out. I use the line-up bar to check the final result and then notch/weld if needed to straighten the tubes back out. Just in case.
