I dont know boys. The nv4500 was a lot skinnier than my 727. I can notch the pan but its still too close.

[Scott Cee AKA 2drx4]

Clock the case up and it will move the shaft outboard?

[Mr.gutsy]

The problem is the panhard moves the diff towards the driver side as it comes up. Ive said screw the bigblock for now bolting the 360 in. Might raise the ride height later and put a big block in once i build a real engine.

Just cut the trans tunnel out and raise it up....

[Mr.gutsy]

Im not saying no to cutting the trans tunnel but im definately sticking with the smallblock for now. Back to waiting for parts. Going to order a clutch and other odds and ends i need to put the drivetrain in. Tore the carpet out to see hoe my seats will fit

[Johnny5]

Who needs a big block when ya get all that horse power boost from the sweet seats

[Snowracer]

so is it going to be done in time for some snow wheeling?

Nice! so is this the planned original motor? or another mopar you have laying around?

[Mr.gutsy]

Planned original. 11-1 solid roller 360. Ported heads etc. It better be atleast 450-500hp.

[Mr.gutsy]

Did a crossmember delete

Decided on a crossmember/skid plate design. Its pretty light only 1/8" but il probably add some braces and dimples

Clutch should be here tomorrow, hopefully i can install the engine tomorrow but I think hmf is going to have to machine me a pilot bearing adaptor first.

[Scott Cee AKA 2drx4]

Yeah, I think you're going to have to add something to that piece of 1/8" if you're not planning to have it look like a banana in a hurry.

[Shancerlelby]

Beauty! Miss the old dodge but this will be pretty good too!

[Mr.gutsy]

Yeah, I think you're going to have to add something to that piece of 1/8" if you're not planning to have it look like a banana in a hurry.

I dont doubt that. Its also stupid simple to replace with 1/4" later if i want to.

Just run flat bar on edge in there as bracing and it will be fine. You can run it from one cross member to the other and it will add even more space. Guys do belly pans with link mounts out of 1/4" plate and flat bar this way



Or I could just cut you some 1/4 T1.... haha
