how did everything look in the motor?? better or worse than you expected??Only thing I thought was odd was the intake runners in the head had some tar-like sludge on the bottom of them. I think it may be too rich at part throttle cruising. It always felt like it wanted to stumble when cruising around. Besides that everything else looks good. I thought it would be a little cleaner on the valves. But not bad for what it has been through. 150+ dyno pulls, 40 or so passes last year and who knows how miles Andy put on it while it was down in SD. I always wondered why the back seat stunk.

So yesterday I was putting in the mock-up motor into the car. Put the tranny back in too and saw this.
The K-member cross bar sits higher than my Cobra one. Leaves the pan just exposed. If I pull a DaveH it won't be pretty.
I pulled it out last night and today pulled the one out of the Cobra and put it in. Looks much better. Motor isn't all the way dropped in on the drivers side that is why it is a little crooked.

Whats the measurement of your crank c/l at ride height?I have it written down somewhere for the cobra. I won't be able to get you a number until I get everything installed and set my suspension up. My best guess would be somewhere around 17-18".

The only way I could lower is if I relocate the steering rack.. It is possible, just some welding. I may ditch my motor mounts and go solids or motor plates. I was stretching the steal apart on my Energy Suspension ones.
EDIT; wheelie bars are for sissies
I have the top left ones in the pict. The outer shell was being pulled apart

Ohhh here we go with the wheelie bar - sissy argument again.
Wheelie bars are a safety device to me. Its got nothing to do with balls. On a 9 second car...errr no. On your car....yes. Get it all dialed in on our greasy little track then take it somewhere that hooks, when everything forward of the firewall is destroyed I will buy you a beer and get to say I told you so.
Im just sayin....
