Progress has all but stopped on the frame swap. I purchased a 355 race built short block that has only 9 races on it. You can still see all the honing marking in the cylinders. Plus I had a chance to drive this motor the last day he ran it before selling it to me. I also got aluminum intake manifold, Mallory distributor, Crane ign. coil and spark box, plus a few other accessories for the motor and a rebuilt th400 with a stage 2 shift kit. So far I have a good start on the drive train.
I hope to be bolting up the transmission to the old engine block to see how much I'll have to tunnel the cab, shorten the drive shaft and check for clearance to mount the brake cylinder back under the cab.
