Build 6.2 going into my 62!! With TT coil conversion

Agree. Hood would close but not with the plastic engine cover.

Lower it down and make sure the driver side exhaust manifold still clears the frame lowering it will help with the angles too.

I had issues with the oil pan clearance without a lift when I first did mine, even with the camaro pan. In other words only go as low as you need to in order to clear the hood.

Wrong pan man h3 oil pan has the most clearance have used the camaro one and modified it but not worth the hassle @Jdog you have the car intake it is lower than the truck intake makes me think its way high if its hitting the hood.

I’m hoping when I level it out, the front will come down considerably.
Here is the angle the 3fe was sitting.

Thats the thing the tlc mounts where made for whatever setup they were using. Engine looks a little high hard to tell from the pics.

I like my engine about 1-1.5" higher than everyone else with an approx. 3 degree bubble (Front to rear).

Just me....

HA HA!!! Well when the SMOG police look at every dimension... That 1.25" made it possible to keep the CATs and O2 bungs within "legal" dims.

T,

In the narrower 80 frame they pose a problem and it was the one way I could shoehorn everything in.

It’s always nice when tools live up to my expectations. Here is my Ingersol Rand 118max removing 2 rivets in under 2 min 20 sec.

Xfer rebuild time. Had to rig something up since the gears were wider than my press bars.

Something is wrong with your air hammer. Is the nose loose or is it low on air? Mine will kill a rivet in like 10 seconds.

 

[Jdog]

It could be loose. I find myself always tightening it
It could also be the chisel. It’s starting g to flatten out after the 20+ rivets so far

You’re gonna love this when it’s done! It will put a s*** eating grin on your face everyday. Not to mention the father son bonding is

Current count has me at 60 rivets removed. Getting ready for new suspension.
To the PO who listed this as rust free, my shop floor would say otherwise!
