another thing to note - the way the vent window cam sits in the frame, the window has to be opened to slide into the door.
this was just a trial fit as the outside glass wiper needs to be installed before the glass etc
I'll post updates as I go...
1st I must say that I'm a fan of sbc's, that's my personal preference. Its your 40, you do what makes you happy. I have no dog in the hunt. It sounds like you're searching for excuses to justify an engine swap. The symptoms you describe are...

Over 10 years in...
I finally found my invoice for my current 16" wheels.. 3.125 backspace. Run these on both of our 40s.
3.75 is too much for my needs, so I'm for sure gonna' pass.
Thank You Kindly and GLWS
