Coming along nicely ! !

Very nice work.

The engine came in a week ago. I went ahead and spent the money and bought another ramjet 350. They are a great crate engine.

Also working on the battery tray. Made from stainless steel and will never rust.

Transfer case is ordered and should be here in a week or so.

Engine and transmission are in. Everything went pretty smooth. I found out years ago that when installing a Ramjet crate engine, there is not enough room because the ram manifold is so tall. The boom of the engine hoist won't fit between the top of the engine well and the manifold. I save myself a lot of headache and just remove it. Only costs a set of intake gaskets. Transmission went in like a breeze up the hays 12 inch super truck clutch.

Looking good!

O2 sensor relocation....

Rotated 90* for clearance?

Yes. It will hit the frame rail if left in the stock location.

NICE WORK ! !
