Starting to heat the ABS in the form. We used a shop vac to pull in into the form.

Sweet! I don't like red, but I appreciate how it all ties together! Well done. I can't wait to hear it burbling and rumbling at the WCC! You've got my vote for Best Transplant.
I didn't understand your measurements. Please double check your post. |

You've got my vote for Best Transplant. I didn't understand your measurements. Please double check your post. Picture the red against the polished in a black engine bay looking through the mesh... Envision the Alien beast from the movie "Predator" or the polished chome skeleton from Treminator... Ya, It was late The motor is 28.5" from the crank nut to the back of the block. The total lenth is 52.5" from the crank nut to the tail. I don't think the motor is actually all that much longer than the chevy but it's very square. the cam pulleys are way out there. |
