Yeah, we want to do this thing right. There are so many things that I cut corners on with the Stude. I vowed I would NEVER build a car that way again.


Yeah I have cut corners too and reget it every time.

Yeah, I've thinking heavily about those too. We'll see. They are about the same price.

So, got some work done on the Ford this weekend, nothing real exciting, but got the motor in place and notched the K-member for the trans. I made some templates to build a transmission mount off of the stock K-member. I had to grind the hell out of the driver side exhaust manifold to clear the steering box. I don't know if it is enough yet, as the motor will torque towards it, but we'll see when it gets closer to that point. Good news is that the Lincolns 302 oil pan clears the front crossmember really nice and have an ideal amount of room for fan and radiator, etc.

Awesome.  Did you snap any pics of the motor mounts?  And do you have to run a remote oil filter?

I used the stock Lincoln motor mounts and just opened up the holes a little bit in the mount towers on the frame. Was pretty slick. It looks like I have just enough room to pull the oil filter off without needing a remote filter. Here are a couple pics I took:

The one is the notch I made in the K-member. The other is the amount I needed to remove from the exhaust manifold

I like flames, but I have always loved scallops. For some reason they just seem to say 50's.

Keep up the progress Ryan.  :)
