Re: '59 4x4 Build

Yesterday I mounted the radiator support and radiator to see what clearance I would have to the water pump pulley. Not enough. So I decided to move the engine and trans back 2-1/4 inches where the most aft set of holes is on my LS adapter plates. It also lines up with the first location I had determined for the T-case cross support, which means I won't need to modify the front drive shaft (See post #25)! I may need to modify the firewall for clearance on the right engine head, but I'll deal with that when I get there.
