    Man scrolling down, the picture of the engine was a shocker, never would have expected a 6 and Chev to boot, but I like it. No I think I love it. Absolutely beautiful. Ralphie.

    Oh WOW that is nice. I think we just have witnessed the coming out of one of the Iconic shoebox customs of this era. Just the right touches and everything end to end fits and blends in with the whole build.

    First class! What a beautiful job. Did you modify your steering to clear the pan or just raise the engine a bit?

    Thank you. I notched out the cross member 1 1/2” deep and 1 1/2” wider than the oil pan. I boxed in the notch with 1/8” steel plate. I didn't need to modify and of the steering linkage and the motor sits close to the same position of the original flathead.
