Yeah kind of a bummer...then my wife pointed out he could probably really use the money for something he needs more. I too hope it doesn't get scrapped.

Anyway, worked on setting in the engine and transmission yesterday. Short day as the Grandson's came over for pizza and we played all afternoon. Best day we've had in weeks!

I had six LS mounting plates I previously made so selected two of them to use. Also had two of the SBC "A" shaped mounts that join to the frame. Figured I would slide the engine in place, locate the "A" mounts to the plate while the frame mount end was in place on the frame.

Nope, the base of the "A" mount landed right on the front chamfered in bolts...couldn't have been more precise if I wanted them there.
