That car would stand on the bumper with the 727 and 528. Should be interesting lol.
It will drive like a /6 d100 with pair of good shocks and some careful suspension tuning.

Nice car. I like that body style, color, and wheel choice.
 Hell yeah!

That is a very good point Ron. I'll measure the pinion angle at the differential yoke and report back.
Anybody have an opinion on how the pinion angle should be set in a car with ladder bars and coil overs?
Now on to the next mock up hurdle. The Enderle tunnel ram linkage does not quite fit my Indy manifold. The spacer that bolts to the center intake bolts leaves the throttle pivot too far inboard. I think the easiest way to handle this is move the bracket out and ditch the spacer. I'll let the pictures illustrate.
For your engine placement point the C/L of the engine
trans right at the pinion so its all in line with
zero pinion at this time... then roll the pinion
down 2* for your ladder bar.... I use a laser pointer
in a block that mounts into the rear main but that
wouldnt help you out... I need to make one up that
mounts on the trans trailshaft so it would show you
where its at on the pinion
I think I can mount a laser level to the bellhousing and get an idea of where I am on the vertical specs. Not sure if the yoke is centered in the car or offset. I'd guess it is centered. I'll check it out tomorrow.

Try making the bottom brackets set at 90 degrees apart from to each other, these types of throttle linkage take time and effort to get correct. The dang mounting hieght on the side pivots above the carbs can affect them   Take your time, have fun and let us know your results
I think I'll go ahead and drill/tap the manifold to accept the pivot directly and buy a longer linkage rod. I spent a bit of time modifying and fooling with the adapter piece and decided it will all work much better located farther outboard on the manifold flange. I will have to move the throttle linkage over as well. Thanks for taking a look Cab! And thanks for selling me the velocity stacks!
I have been doing this engine project (in duplicate) for a long time and it's nice to see stuff going together and fitting the way it should. It sure is great to be back in a decent shop with all of my tools organized.
Here is a look at the back of the intake valve from the carb flange. Ooh la la.

Did you and Kevin figure out your hood deal yet?

) but something needs to be done about the front of the scoop to hood mating. Anybody with fiberglass experience want to throw your 
in on this? My hood is rough so I'll hack, sand and add material until it looks sanitary. Not sure if I should glass it or use rivets either.
