According to direct connection chassis book, the body tolearances at the factory were pretty big. I'm only back halfing this car, slo the stock engine offsrt will remain. And actually we got the tranny and engine mounts done today. Of course we try to do things as well as we can, schedule permitting, but this is not a too serious project. In the end (of 2006), if we have a C-body capable of 8 second ET's in street trim, I'm very happy, even proud. This thing is going to weigh 4000 lbs easy.
