    I will also measure up the motor mount later tonight to make sure it is properly positioned. Having the motor in the wrong place would certainly cause a problem.

    Thanks again....I can see I am in the right place for help!

    Stay tuned...you will see more pictures in the coming days.

    As you can see this is what I ended up for setback. It does look kinda interesting - except for the amount of work it took to make the body fit. I chose to go that way for a couple of reasons. The first being that the 'A' chassis is a simple design ladder type and everything would fit. The second was I didn't want any more of a heat affected zone by rewelding though the 'A' chassis is mostly 2x4x.125 rectangular tubing.

    Oh yeah - Brookville sent the 3" recess rather then the 5" big block firewall that I ordered
