You said in the other post you where almost done? I just see a car taken apart. Did you find a V8 K-member? Are you welding up one? If so how are you getting the drive line angles right? That distributor sure is sitting up high. I assume its a carb, How are you handling fuel? That looks like a stardard oil pan. Will that work?
Please take lots of pictures. I would love to see this come together.

you dont need a v8 k member you just need the lt1 mounts and modify them a little. the distributor fits ive already had the car lowered down on the engine. havent had the carb on yet might have to cut a little there. the oil pan works. and what do you mean handling fuel like are you talking fuel pump or type of fuel?

Ya the fuel pump. It outputs way to much pressure for a carb. If you do not have the Kmember and mounts together how do you know where the motor will sit height wise? Could you please show us the little mod the mount require.....
