Your welcome!
I bet that thing is going to be a blast with a Lenco in it. I drove a buddy of mine top sportsman car that has a 3 speed Lenco and it was all I could to find the second and third gear levers. What a rush!!!

I used 1-1/8" x 1/8" 4130 tubing for my subframe cross members.

Finished up my motor plate mounts yesterday. I'm really pleased with how it turned out. Just need to mock up my alternator, vacuum pump and fuel regulator now so that I can trim the excess plate.

The short block parts are out being machined and I'll be finishing up the heads as soon as I can nail down the springs and retainers. The lower intake is all fitted and the heads are drilled and tapped for it.

Can't wait to run this thing on the dyno in a few weeks!
