The truck looks great! I really like what you have done so far. I am not far from you at all (Woodstock), and I may be installing a 6.0 in an '87 C10 in the next week or so (still working costs out with the customer). He wants to keep the A/C, and like many of you I'm reluctant to cut the frame for clearance. I can easily reinforce anything I cut, but I'd rather make a change to the accesories, or the mounting therof. I know the BRP guys, and will be using their swap kit, and more than likely their headers (customer may run manifolds, not sure yet), so I'll be able to let you know if the stock A/C location will work.I'm planning to do a full build thread on it, with lots of pictures and a parts/cost list. Once I get started on it, you're welcome to come by and check it out.
