    I’m pretty excited to get it done... 400hp, 2800lbs, TTB, lots of shocks and 37’s should work!

    How much are you lengthening the wheelbase to fit that bigger motor with beams?

    really clean. although it doesn't look right without green swirl laminate tile. Looks like a lot of extra space up front, SUPER nice.

    by the time I get the radiator/fans in there I have 1/2” of clearance to the pulley and the grill has to get notched over the engine cage... it’s so tight it’s crazy

    Modified the pan to get all the uptravel I can. The beams now bottom out on the new frame and the 37” tire touches the bottom of the hood at full bump... gonna have to notch the hood if I want to clear 40’s :)
