That things is going to be sweet! You just might need to change out your springs, just a thought.

^Maybe throw the firewall a few inches to the back. Again, just maybe.

Are those the valve springs sitting next to it?

Main journals appear to be in good shape, just need a good line hone. Appears main cap studs have been drilled for wires, must have seen some serious track time in the past....

What oil pan do you think you will need?

Aw for get it, it's only a 2 bolt main.

I think you are going to have to run a 4 inch cowl hood for that one. Might have to build a new crossmember too and step up to a 4L80E, I don't think a 4L60E would live behind it.
