Small update. Steering is all finished up although the notches aren't completely burned in. That's going to wait until I take it down to my buddy's shop to do the rest of the frame mods. Hopefully that happens in a couple weeks. I just ordered a bunch of parts today. So, I'm gonna play the wait game.
I picked up a complete 292 swap locally that I planned on flipping. After putting it on here and waiting only 2 days, nobody seemed interested (I probably priced it too high). I decided to just use it. I tore it down to a naked long block and cleaned the 40+ years of grime off of it.
Here's a pic of it when I picked it up.
After cleaning it up, it was in and out of the chassis a few times to figure out how high I had to raise the engine mounts. These are what I came up with. They're raised up 1.75".
Oh yeah, I had to do this too.
All and all, she's sitting in there pretty nice. Everything fits and the pan clears the drag link by probably a bit over 3/8". I'm happy with that.
Here's my artsy pic I did on my phone. Haha.
Until next time gentlemen...
