Test fit the 347 for pipe clearance and engine height with the fabricated mounts. The motor ended up sitting 1/2 inch higher than the 65 stock position to clear the modded sump

Engine looks the goods Ray - very nice. :thumb:

Next is to strip the underside and engine bay and repaint, make up some subframe connectors, rewire the car and refit everything with new running gear and front end. Trying to get it done in a couple of months.

Attending to some rust on the floor this week. :smash:
-
RUST yuk!!!
Looks like it's coming along well with some minor hiccups.
Keep us all updated. :cheers:
-
Rust patches in place, very time consuming job that was. Started fabricating a set of subframe connectors and stripping underneath.
-
Cleaned, primed, sealed and painted.
:cheers: Ray

:thumb: Good job Ray. Were you expecting the rust in the floors or was that a nasty surprise? Seeing your car in the flesh it didn't look like you would have any rust issues.
Cheers, Andrew

I thought it was just a motor swap Ray, looks like some real good progress :thumb:
-
Looking good Ray. From the pics looks like a complete overhaul without painting the body.
-
Yep pretty much, after doing that little rust repair had the trim all out so decided to get the underside back to metal and glad to say its it top shape.
-
Slow progress but finally got some undercoat in the bay today also got me a new set of wheels and tyres.

Can't tell you exactly what it is but pretty sure have seen them online, it was a disc brake conversion done about 15 years ago in USA.
