So I have a 53. Now a friend of mine got a 53. Am I a little jealous, Yes! I told him to take pics as he goes. I know a few have mentioned this kit here and on other sites, so I thought I would document some of his build for others.
First off, kit is very solid and nice. Uses front end components from Heidt's as well. Has not run into many issues as yet other than the instructions are a little vague and he has had to make a few phone calls.
Overall, everything seems to fit quite well. It came to him with a more modern straight 6 and 10 bolt.
He is going crate 350, auto trans and new **** 9" rear.
Is really coming out great. Click link below...
