You are exactly right!
Holy **** I’m tired, got the transmission and engine installed to see where needed a bfh. Figured out where needed to hammer and where still does. The top of the tunnel needed some slight persuasion along with the corners of the secondary fire wall.
While the motor was at the correct angle I got the new front crash bar/radiator support tacked up. Used my flux core mig to do the tacks, I remember now why I dislike flux core.
The radiator is pretty much mounted, I still need to make upper mounts but the hoses are run and it’s in its permanent orientation. Next up I need to make ducting and tie the intake into that so I can just mount the filter to the shroud, kinda like the examples above.
The 12” shifter relocation worked out perfectly for the TR6060.
