Did you get the engine out with leaving the hood in place?

Did you get the engine out with leaving the hood in place?

We were able to for some reason. It was pretty close though....

Engine is out. We are removing some engine bay clutter, rewiring and painting before putting the 400 in place. We removed the heater box and we will cover the firewall hole with our heater/AC delete panel.

I found if you remove the glovebox and leave the AC-delete panel off the passenger can change the timing and carb tune while you're driving :lol:

Nice looking car!

Here is the Flowmaster stainless system we will be using on the Green Machine. This system has the Flowmaster new "D-Port", we are excited to hear it.

The pictures below show it compared to the very nice system we had on the car prior...

looks like your new pipes have a ball and socket collector. The ball and socket works great and never leaks. I'm even had my bolts back off and it just a very slight leak and nice thing is no gasket to blow out so just tighten up the bolts and away I go.

Nice exhaust system....

Correct. The collectors have the ball and socket, we are excited about that too.

While the motor was out we took a few minutes and designed laser cut clamshells to go with our already popular solid motor mounts. Now we will have a kit with solid motor mounts, new clamshells and all new mounting hardware. Below are a few phone pictures of what we did. Although not on our site yet these are available for anyone interested.

Are those stock location SBC clamshells?
