Re: First truck build '49 3100
This weekend I started working on the firewall clearance for the valve covers the new engine. I saw where someone on here used an old valve cover turned around to allow the clearance needed. I decided to go that route but when I started cutting I made the mistake of cutting the hole too tall so I had to use part of what I cut out as a filler. I think it turned out pretty good, gives me the clearance that I need to remove the valve covers even though I'll not be using the covers that are currently on the engine. My concern now is that I may have placed the motor mounts too far back and I may not have room for the distributor. So now I have to decide if I want to move the engine forward a few inches before I get too much further.
