This is my first build like this so any and all info I could gain here was utilized . The frame was the next step since I was placing a SBF in it . With advice I think the boxing and bracing will hold just fine for this engine .

The engine mounts I did would have been strong , but I didn't feel comfortable with them sitting at the bottom of frame so I did the speedway mount .

You can't see now but the 2x2 was inside the rail and below . I webbed in some 3/16 plate on the inside of rail to tie it all together . Then covered it .



But as I said we cut all this out a put in a cross bar mount .

After the engine was all set I turned my attention to the frame . Now is the time to finish boxing the rails , and cross brace it for a little more torque then the 4 cylinder it was built for . started off with something like this .





Long story short it grew into this .



Her I was cleaning up the sand blasting and decided real soon to stop that .



Looking at this area I seen something that just didn't look right so I added another layer for support , now it looks stronger .





Then came paint day after etching primer , a couple coats of Fill&Sand . Valspar Implement paint Farm&Fleet $25 a gallon and few bucks for a pint of hardner .
