as for the swap congrats man that thing is going to be a looker!
i've begun working on the new chassis so we'll see. good luck finding that driveshaft...i went to hell and back a couple of times trying to ge the guy who sold me the engine to sell me the driveshaft too!

get her all fixed up yet? what about that drive shaft?

[Mtriple]

LOL i forgot about that...here


i have a 2x4 hollow steel tube thats sitting on 2 trusses and the center is just an eyebolt threw the tubing. it took me no more than 15 minutes to get the motor on the mounts. this has to be easier that the cherry picker method

Awesome! Thanks for taking pics and congrats on getting her started!
