Very nicely done. What’s next ?
After I finish this battery box, I need to choose the location... I have a looong battery cable I got from a BMW at a Junkyard for only $7. It will reach darn near the rear bumper if I add a post in the frame and wire the starter to the frame separately.

Then I need to decide to either scoot the engine forward to clear the brake pedal, or cut the 3 bolt flange off of the TBSS drivers manifold and clock it, or weld in a 2 bolt manifold instead.

I didn't even know that welding an LS manifold with just plain ole MIG was possible, then Gregski showed me his custom versions all welded up...who knew?! So many Truck intakes have been discarded for nothing, I bet.
