For the price of 3 racks of my slow smoked E TN dry rubbed babyback ribs, my crew of 3 strong backs made short work of getting the front clip mounted and made shorter work of relieving me of said ribs. But it was well worth it.
Had to cut alittle of the inner fender away for the repositioned gearbox. Course getting the clip mounted opened up a whole new can of worms to deal with.The engine sit's too low for a mechanical fan so it's going to get a 16" electric, probably make up a shroud to mount it on. Got 3-3/4" of clearance to play with. Another mod deals with the lower radiator gooseneck, currently it makes 90 degree bend upwards at an angle not conducive for unrestricted coolant flow to the water pump, I'm thinking of cutting the bend off, will be studying on that.
I think the trans cooler will be alittle safer tucked up behind the grill instead of ty-rapped to the straight axle like it was before LOL.
