With the stock brackets the alternator would of stuck through the hood so I had to make new brackets to drop it

I had to make a bracket to move the power steering pump up and closer to the water pump so it wouldn't hit the steering box ( crap like this is real time consuming)

Very awesome build. Not that you needed our approval...but you have it in spades!

Wow, amazing fabrication skills and love how much wheel your tucking in the back. Keep it up, and can't wait for more updates!

The next issue is the engine hits the hood and Its as low as it can go,the oil pan is a half an inch off the ground when laid out

I picked up a surge tank from jegs

Since the motor is higher than the frame I had to mount the surge tank higher than the motor water outlet to ensure the motor always had water

and i welded a drain cock to the top of the radiator so i can bleed out the air and also put a vent on the highest point of the engine to bleed air from it and return it to the surge tank
