It's an IRS pan and set up, not a swing axle. :wink:
He's still gotta figure out an engine hanger set up. |

I am excited with what is going under the engine cover. The new heads for the engine should bump me up a bit.

| It was recommended by the head porter, that I switch valves, retainers, keepers and lash caps to what the heads would have originally had. Not a cheap thing to do, but it seems like cheap insurance after investing in these heads! |

The only time I think this is remotely ok. Car needs a diet... this is just one part of it all. Bolt in, of course...

So, will you be undoing all of the body mods to the pink car? Or will they stay? I thought you were going to "water cool" it. |

| They stay. The vr6 is still waiting to move in. The engine from the pink car will move to this one. |

Ok, so that should save you some time. Does that case have the provisions for a hanger bar? |

Used 1 3/4 exhaust is on its way!
The rear subframe will be a swing/IRS conversion. Frame horns and IRS pivots, so no rear engine hanger and solidnmoits of the subframe. |

With the head porting and those carbs, your watch could end up in the bottom end. Nice work. |
