im using this on my 1970 2002 s52 build, hit up Ireland engineering i got it for 200 shipped, a lot easier fitting it into the 02 imo... with bottom mount going foward it will be a pain to fab up

So started looking at brake setups, seeing if anyone had any input on them. Deciding between the Wilwood 320-12411 or the Tilton 72-603. I like the look of the wilwood better and the size of the pedals is larger which is nice

great work man

Decided to have a tranny tunnel bent up instead of just doing a box shape one, happy with how it is going to fit, its a little on the larger size but gives me plenty of room for the tranny.

Went and checked out the head at the machine shop and also dropped the block off. Its all taken apart, getting new valve guides, valves, IE 272 cam, new OEM valve springs, IE heavy duty rocker arms and also ordered Mahle .05 over pistons.

Got the first coat of primer down in the bay, still needs some work but getting closer. The engine block is getting dropped off at the machine shop to get checked out tomorrow.

Also drew up the measurements for the transmission tunnel so I can have a metal shop bend one up.

So I started working in the engine bay, shaving a few things and cleaning it up a little bit as well as starting the new firewall.
