How did I miss that?
No wheelbarrow (I know where that idea came from) or BBQ lids here. But I'd use one if it met my needs.
Yesterday I put the engine in place again so I could mark the rack position and box the frame accordingly.
Since it's a bit of a PITA to get the engine/trans in/out I decided to knock some other things out while it was in there. I really wanted to see if my header would work with the added clearance gained with the straight frame rail: NOPE. Not without modification anyway.
I was able to remove 3/4-1" from the primaries right by the flange to suck it in closer to the block.

The 4th cylinder did not want to cooperate.
Be we have ways...
