    Yup...I think the payoff is probably worth a little pain and spilled blood.

    Just be careful you don't do any worse than that.

    Keep up the good work.

    set motor on rails to see how it squats..Then started cutting floor out to see what the channel is going to look like.

    Man I gotta say I'm a little jealous, I have a 429 from a '69 lincoln I was gonna use in my build, but the because of the lack of good dress up parts and everybody telling me it would look to big a bulky in an A changed my mind. I'll be keeping an eye on this, you may change my mind again.. Good luck dude, I like how this is going.

    Love the big block ford idea. It will be a tire smoker for sure.

    Great progress! Might want to ID a radiator before you go wild on the shell, it'd suck to end up with a radiator that doesn't fit by 1/2" or something.
