Some updates, the next big thing is wiring while Im getting my ducks in a row and figuring out what exactly I want to have in the car electrically and then exactly how Im going to accomplish that Ive been working out some smaller details that have to be done at some point
I found when I dropped the engine in the oil pan sat below the front suspension cross member. If I ever had an off road excursion or even a run in with a speed bump I could clean the pan off the engine so I used some heavy washers as spacers on the solid motor mounts to raise the engine up . Plans call for a heavy plate steel skid plate to be fabbed and installed from the c member and fully underneath the oil pan
