Stats so far are:
65 SWB stepside
C notch
Z notch
LM7 from a 99 pickup
T-56 from a 96 F body
4 Link rear
Shaved horse collar cross member
Shaved firewall
pancaked K member
Airbags
All that's left is everything else....
Here's a youtube link

and a couple pics
I also have a 67 C10 built by my father in law and his brother. 4 inch roof chop, 454 and a 9 inch

A frame 'Z' AND pancaked x-member? What method did you use for the frame 'Z' (straight-up cut or angled cut)?

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
