Well, we put the block into the car tonight. lined up pretty good.
And yeah, that is a Tubular K-Member. It really opens up the engine bay, lots of space.
They have air tools and all kinds of goodies over there at the guys fathers house.
I am going to try and head over there tomorrow and help with the T56 install.

I'll see what I can do. I forgot my digital camera today when I went over to help drop in the motor.
The a-arms and k-member are PA systems.

My LT1 project started in Mid March or so. It was a little bit after my 305 died on me.
