It looks clean.

doent look like there in an engine in it.. you can see a little day light shining through.

i loves me some V8s also. so go for it, just get ready for alot of reconfiguring that seems to only snowball into more changes.

they are already leaking
thanks

here's where they crack, at least in my experience. Occurred mor efrquently on the passenger side. Had one in an Impalla SS and got pretty good at changing these out.

that engine looks like it's sitting pretty far back on the chassis. how's your rear drive-shaft length and angle?

got any plans for waterproofing the dizzy some? they don't like moisture one bit........
