Thank you for the update! Looks amazing!

Was your k10 frame factory 292 or was it 283? Just curious if you had to relocate the engine perch that comes riveted to the frame from the factory in order to accommodate the 292.

I seem to remember that either the 292 or the 250 six cylinder engine has the engine mount offset from the passenger side or the drivers side.

My k10 originally came with the 283, which was missing when I got the truck. I'm tempted to put a 292 in the truck instead of a v8, just not sure if the engine perches on the frame need to be moved for the 292.

Great progress, keep us updated!
