I decided that the body doesnt mean that much to me anymore and prtecting it isnt a priority.

I need an excuse to cut it off

Plan on replacing it with something?

No beers invloved

The hammers beat your rig UP

I mounted the the engine and drive train as high into the body as possible and as a result I had to fabricate a new radiator mounting straps that lift the raditor 3inches in order to center the raditor to the fan.

Used two pieces of channel mounted to a stud that attaches to the stock placement of the cross member.

I ran two verticall rods which attache to another piece of channel on the top of the radiator. The vertical rods then tighten with nuts.

Fabricated a fan shroud that attaches to the bottom pieces of channel and to the top of the channel.

The radiator then attches to the firewall with two addjustable heim joints (rods).

Probably no one reading this thread now, but in the unlikely event someone is watching: why did you decide to mount engine as high as possible? You raised your CG. Needed room below?

They are Alcan springs with Orbit eyes. The Orbit eye has the ability to flex 38 degress in all directions. The springs are great.

Alcan Spring - Manufactures Fine Custom Leaf Springs

Still liking the Orbit Eyes?
